Synopsis
In a Southern land where time and space blur, twins with otherworldly gifts are born, intertwining their fate with the landscape and its rich histories.
From the blackness, a world is sung into being. Cave art comes alive, pounamu birds sing, and legends become reality for twins born to a stone carver. As they grow, the landscape and its histories rise to meet them, forever changing their whanau. This verse novel brings to life the stories of the Southern iwi through whakapapa and the world their ancestors call home.
The Artist is an invitation to explore Māori mythology, intergenerational healing, and the power of connection. Perfect for readers seeking:
- Māori literature
- Historical fantasy
- Verse novels
