The Dawn of Hawaii is a four-book Christian historical fiction series by Linda Chaikin, set in the Hawaiian Islands during a period of significant cultural and political change. The series began with For Whom the Stars Shine in 1999, and Chaikin returned to the setting over a decade later with The Spoils of Eden (2010), Hawaiian Crosswinds (2011), and Jewel of the Pacific (2013).
The books follow characters navigating the complex world of missionary families, sugar plantations, and Hawaiian politics. Chaikin brings her characteristic blend of romance and faith to a setting that is less common in Christian historical fiction, giving readers stories rooted in a fascinating chapter of American and Pacific history.
