Feisty young Skylark O’Shea is on holiday with her mother at a town on the coast. Soon it becomes clear that in Tuapa all is not what it seems. Strange things begin to happen.
What is the threat facing the town and the birds of the forest? Where do the two old charismatic Maori women Hoki and Bella fit in?
Skylark becomes embroiled in an extraordinary journey. Soon she is testing her wits, her life and the fate of all she loves in a race of breathtaking dimension… a dazzling trip through Maori mythology.
