368 pages.
New Zealand author.
Summary: It's 1818 on the East Coast of Te Ika-a-Maui, Aotearoa. Hine-aute, granddaughter of the legendary warrior Kaitanga, is fleeing through the bush; a precious yet gruesome memento contained in her fishing net. The Europeans have arrived, and they've brought muskets and foreign diseases, ushering in a whole new world of terror and trouble. They've also brought a new faith, which will cause Maori to question everything they had believed to be true. (Publisher)
