Nightdancer
Paperback (April 2002) |
John Terangi has come back to the island of his ancestors; a spear of forest shrouded rock thrust up from the bed of the Pacific. His mother, an archaeologist, has been sent to the island to excavate acient Maori sites and search for artefacts.
The island couldn't be more different from home in Auckland but soon John is exploring the lagoon that borders it and the forests at its heart. It could be paradise. But there is a predator on the island, far more dangerous than the sharks that circle beyond the lagoon, or the animals that prowl the hills. It lives in a forest closed by darkness. A savage shadow with a forgotten name, fashioned from hate and fear. A shadow that needs the magic that John has brought back to his ancestors. |
