Meet the Author | Dr Monty Soutar

"It’s 1818 on the East Coast of Te Ika-a-Maui. Hine-aute, granddaughter of the legendary warrior Kaitanga, is fleeing through the bush, a precious yet gruesome memento contained in her fishing net. What follows is a gripping tale of a people on the cusp of profound change that is destined to reverberate through many generations to come."

Hotly anticipated volume two in the Kāwai series; The Tree of Nourishment follows on from 'For Such a Time as This.'

As Dr Monty Soutar (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Awa, Ngai Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Kahungunu) says, ‘he writes these novels as if they were a movie’.
