Set in pre European times, this story follows Kura, who is trained in the Traditional Whare Wananga, or house of esoteric knowledge. Her story takes us into other realms where the patupaiarehe, ponaturi, hapuoneone and many more other beings live. A fantasy story based on the Maori equivalent to elves, etc.
