Produktbeschreibung

This action adventure Maori warrior period piece begins in 1950's New Zealand as mourners are arriving at a Marae (meeting place) for a funeral.

When a young boy shows no respect for the deceased, his great-grandmother, an elder, sits him and his two companions down to tell them the story of Aroha and Arapeta, the daughter of a Chief and the warrior she loved.

The story shifts back to the 1880's, as the old orator tells them how Aroha is wrongfully taken when another Chief's son is injured, and how Arapeta must go against his Chief and century-old customs to get her back. On his travels to find her, Arapeta meets a ragtag bunch of misfits who rally behind him. The seven pull together using their individual skills and wits in an attempt to defeat an entire village and save Aroha from a lifetime of slavery.

This story of young lovers tells of undying devotion, deceit and the evil that burns inside a man who schemes to make Aroha his own. The Greenstone Princess is also about clashing cultures, the dawning of a new era, and the forging of lifelong friendships.

Autorenporträt

Raymond A. Porter: born in New Zealand in 1960, he grew up living on farms.
Coming from a transient family, as a young boy he spent a lot of time on his own, exploring the farms and surrounding countryside. His time was spent climbing hills and tramping in lush native forests, which may account for his vivid imagination that has led to his writing career.
Up until recently, he divided his time teaching martial arts, writing a regular column in a local newspaper, and writing manuscripts and screenplays. Now, he focuses on writing books, film scripts, and producing and directing films.
