-------------------------------------
1847 is drawing to a close. Winnie Meldon, twelve years old, finds herself
in a strange new country – New Zealand. A country with almost no native
land animals but teeming with all manner of strange, wonderful birds.
Home to the Maori people who decorate their faces with wild patterns
carved into their flesh like living stones.
Winnie, her Maori friend Rawiri and Kura, her courageous talking bird are
pitched against the cold genius of the ex-pirate Quinlan and his
statuesque cannibal associate Te Wahoe after they abduct not only Rawiri’s
mother but his entire village and put them in slavery in their secret criminal enterprise.
Pursuing the slavers over land and sea the trio face death more than once,
fall under a deadly curse and experience the terror of a dark presence
shadowing them through the ancient forests of Mt Moehau.
Who is the man, strangely familiar to Winnie, who seeks to sabotage their
journey?
Blood is shed and family secrets laid bare as this epic adventure story
reaches its thrilling climax.
This is a Christian-friendly adventure. No witches, wizards or magic. No preaching or moralising either, but the heroine is authentically a Christian girl of her time. A family Bible plays a pivotal role. It does, however, feature some rather bloody action sequences.
