Desperate to restore the Seer to her rightful dimension, one brave Lander will risk everything in an audacious Interdimensional rescue. Evil is constantly moving closer and the future of the entire Grid is at risk. Yet how can someone from the rural Land survive in the World Dimension, much less find one sick woman in Manhattan?

The Protectors of the Land must combine their unique abilities like never before, culminating in a spectacular battle between Good vs. Evil among the skyscrapers of New York City.

She sees animaltalent fairy Beck give a pie to wise Mother Dove and hears the voices of water-talent Rani and even Tinker Bell herself. More than anything, Gwendolyn wishes she could be there.

From the 1970s onwards, Māori began a concerted effort to confront Pākehā with the wrongs done during the colonisation of New Zealand. They made highly contested claims for reparation of past wrongs and the restitution of their political power, putting history at the heart of their claims. This process of drawing on the past is examined by a wide range of writers, both Māori and Pākehā, and all highly respected thinkers in history, law and philosophy. Histories, Power and Loss offers an incisive analysis that is relevant to any country where political and legal relations between indigenous peoples and colonisers are being scrutinised.
