    About this ebook

    New Zealand is the land of birds. An aged moa hen and her stalwart Strider companion embark on a quest for enlightenment. Seeking the debatable counsel of seers, they traipse the length and breadth of North Island, only to discover she must petition their sworn enemy to bestow birdkind a fighting chance against the unavoidable pestilence fated to plague not only her forested home but every ecosystem in her island paradise.
