Opis

From the author of the young adult trilogy, Redemption, comes a story of secrets, lies, and young love, wrapped in mystery and deceit. This ABNA quarter finalist is sure to keep you turning the pages. Deep in the forests of Northern New Zealand lies a Maori village that's been hidden from the eyes of men for generations. Protected by rumors of ghosts, the village residents have survived, undetected, since they were banished from their tribe, left to die in the wilderness. European settlers brought many modern conveniences with them such as guns and architectural know-how. At first, the Maori natives were not accepting of their new neighbors, but as time went on and Maori men fell in love with English women, they gave in. That was until the Maori discovered a dark secret that flowed in the veins of the new residents. A secret that changed them from human to beast. Grace joins her family at their New Zealand mission. A lover of photography, she ventures into the forest to take pictures, finding a small river running beside the forbidden Shadow Land. Grace spots a young deer, rare to New Zealand, chasing it through the forest. Here, she meets Marama, a boy who carries with him a mystery beyond anything she ever thought imaginable. Intrigued with each other, they agree to meet discretely to keep Marama and his family's existence secret. When the leader of Grace's village finds out who and what Marama is, they find themselves in a battle for their lives.
