​It all began when Nanine laid eyes on an old newspaper article titled Yankee Cannibal King...
​
Nanine’s quest to learn the true story that inspired the fantastical article led her on a global adventure, eventually landing her on the Marquesas Islands. On her journey, she discovered missionary descendants and oral storytellers. Each discovery brought her closer to John Rumell’s life and decision to live in a culture that practiced cannibalism and engaged in tribal wars. Had it been his love for a native princess that led Rumell to leave the Western world and subject himself to painful tribal tattooing, or another reason?
 
After sixty years of investigating detailed letters, diaries, and eyewitness accounts that revealed her ancestor’s life among savages, Nanine is ready to share this incredible story.

What would drive a man to leave civilization behind and live out his life among cannibals? 
​
Based on real events, Cannibal King is an inspiring account of a man exploring an exotic culture while striving for his survival—and freedom. Perfect for lovers of adventure and historical fiction.

In l847, young and daring John Rumell jumps ship on a French-occupied Marquesas Island only to end up on a neighboring island inhabited by hostile cannibals. There, he becomes infatuated with the chief’s daughter, Princess Marita, an irresistible temptress.

To win the princess’s hand in marriage, John must kill Niko, her former lover, and submit to a painful tattooing custom. Months later, he discovers he was tricked. Broken and permanently branded with tribal tattoos, which prohibit him from returning to civilization, John leaves the tribe, wandering aimlessly about the island.

After learning the chief is dying, John returns and accepts the dying man’s wish that he lead the tribe. As the chief’s successor, John resists Marita, who is determined to sit by his side as queen, and works to form an alliance between his people and the French, helping to lead the tribe toward a more peaceful existence.
Experience the historical Marquesas Islands, as seen through John Rumell’s eyes in his fantastical adventure, retold by a distant relative, Nanine Case.
