The Taniwha Hunters

New Zealand’s rising premiere Māori fantasy author and artist returns with a ‘Taniwha Tales’ graphic novel that introduces the origins and status of the ‘Taniwha Hunters’ – a highly-trained Order established to track down and fight against the remnants of the mythical Taniwha. The taniwha waged a wicked war against the gods and their own fellow caste of angelic beings – the Aho. But where the Aho remained loyal to the gods and the original teachings, the taniwha abused magic and power and corrupted their own physical forms to control the world. After centuries of global conflict, the taniwha retreated to the last untouched paradise – Aotearoa (New Zealand) – in the hopes of establishing a final bastion. The Aho – in ever-dwindling numbers – are finally forced to consider bringing the People of the Pacific – specifically the Māori people – into their war.
