Ghosts of Parihaka

Book five in the amazing Aotearoa series is due for release in March 2013.

'They say the past is another country. Some people can go there.

It’s not been an easy time for Matiu Douglas, magical adept. One of his friends is now a ghost, his enemies have stolen the Treaty of Waitangi, he can’t date the girl he likes and keeps getting unwanted marriage proposals from a centuries old tohunga’s daughter.

But when his best friend Riki is snatched into the ghost-world of Aotearoa during a school visit, Mat has to put all his worries aside and act fast. For Riki vanished at Parihaka, scene of one of the darkest acts from New Zealand’s colonial past, and in Aotearoa such places are deadly dangerous.'

Mage's Blood by David Hair

Mage's Blood, first book of the Moontide Quartet. Watch out for David's newest book and his first epic fantasy novel.

Come to Urte, where the moon covers half the sky and the tides render the seas impassable. Where windships ply the skies and magi with god-gifted powers rule the earth. Where East and West are divided by colour, creed, language and the sea, but drawn to each other irrevocably in a dance of life and death. The Moontide is coming, to sweep away all in its path.
