Battle For Arohanui
In a magical kingdom (Arohanui), ruled by the wise and gentle Wolfhounds of the royal house of Kuri te Aroha, a dark force rises. The Queen's daughter Bridie commands the guard of the only passage into the kingdom but as vigilant as she and her ladies are, evil finds its entry into their stronghold. To conquer this evil they must forge unexpected alliances with those they have thought enemies and with the magical and unusual creatures of the kingdom. Evil comes in many forms and it is not long before they are battling fierce and malevolent foes; the worst among them the Venene and a Shedragon who is as violent as she is cruel. Her hatred of peace, joy and the hounds of Arohanui is ancient. Her dragonspawn feed upon the innocent but soon it becomes apparent the Evil force driving the attack on Arohanui is far greater than she; she and her fellow aggressors are all merely pawns in an ancient battle between gods. The Battle for Arohanui will be fierce, the age old conflict between Good and Evil. From the mountains, across the plains and to the shores of the lake, blood will be shed, lives will be lost. The creatures of the Arohanui will rediscover their ancient bonds with the very land itself and learn to harness their greatest weapon; the energy of all good souls united with the spirit of their land. Together they overthrow Evil and dispel it from Arohanui.
