Battle For Arohanui - Arohanui, #1

In the magical kingdom of Arohanui, ruled by the wise and gentle Wolfhounds of the royal house of Kuri te Aroha, a dark force rises. The Queen's daughter, Bridie, commands the guard at the only passage into the kingdom, but as vigilant as she and her ladies are, evil finds its entry into their stronghold. They must forge unexpected alliances with the magical and unusual creatures of the kingdom if they are to defeat this evil.
The battle for Arohanui will be fierce, an age-old conflict between good and evil. From the mountains, across the plains, and to the shores of the lake, blood will be shed, and lives will be lost. They will rediscover their ancient bonds with the very land itself and learn that their greatest weapon lies within themselves. Great feats will be achieved, and things once thought mythical will again be seen upon the land.
With the strength of their inner belief and their commitment to their Queen, they will learn to conquer the five-headed venene and perhaps even the Shedragon herself. The evil that stalks this land, though, is far greater than the Shedragon. Bridie and her friends will discover they are merely pawns in a far greater battle.
