Summary: The Earth shook and twisted. New lands arose, the old were destroyed and a deadly fever raged. From the ashes, a new continent is born in the Pacific Ocean. Te Riu-A-Māui ... In the new world, an ancient taniwha awakes, tribes fight for survival and people are transformed with abilities beyond their understanding. However, chaos and darkness threaten the greatest treasure of all - family. When an angry god returns from the skies demanding answers, Hell'na and her band of superpowered misfits must find the trickster Māui to help them appease the god and bring whānau back from the knife-edge of darkness.
