Lost race novel set in New Zealand. "The Daughter of the Dawn, the promised one of an ancient Maori tribe, the quest of whom leads far beyond the realms of civilization, is the subject of this enchanting romance, the most remarkable ever penned on Maori lore and magic, and one which should take its place among the foremost romances of the day. Practical Europeans come face to face with Maori superstitions and beliefs of prehistoric age. Right to the innermost recesses of this amazing race the quest leads on. Mystery and danger, adventure and death are portrayed with an imagination that, as has been said, out-Haggards Haggard. Time goes by the board, and the events in the giant dwellings of perilous heights and depths seem to belong to eternity." - from dust-jacket blurb of a different edition.
