This Land: the Search for Maui, Book One

A brand-new graphic novel series arising out of Aotearoa, with familiar yet other-worldly characters, settings and themes. The Earth shook and twisted. New lands arose, the old were destroyed and a deadly fever raged. From the ashes, a new continent is born in the Pacific Ocean. TE RIU-A-MAUI … In the new world, an ancient taniwha awakes, tribes fight for survival and people are transformed with abilities beyond their understanding. However, chaos and darkness threaten the greatest treasure of all-family. When an angry god returns from the skies demanding answers, Hell’na and her band of superpowered misfits must find the trickster Maui to help them appease the god and bring whanau back from the knife-edge of darkness.
