About Heart Of A Warrior
Heart of a Warrior is a haunting historical novel set during the New Zealand Wars, where colonisation, resistance, and spiritual mystery collide. The story follows Maggie, a new immigrant with a terrifying gift, and Kahu, a young Māori girl whose world is torn apart by violence and grief. Maggie’s fate becomes entwined with Rei—a Māori warrior with a ghostly past and a heart steeped in ancestral fire. Alongside them is Matthew, a deserting bugle-boy from Tasmania whose uncanny presence links the narrative to Australia’s colonial past. With lyrical prose and a strong feminist lens Heart of a Warrior explores survival, identity, and forbidden love
