Descrição do livro

The short, bloody and desperate clash that was ‘Titokowaru’s War’ in the Taranaki of 1868–69, backgrounds a story of two men more alike than their allegiances might suggest.

Titokowaru – is warrior, priest, and a man of two worlds who tries desperately to reconcile his people’s future with settler land-hunger. John Selby Hunter – is an American Civil War hero who lives by the precepts of honour and duty ingrained in him by a Virginian upbringing, and who finds himself in New Zealand as a result of them.

Both are pitchforked into their situation as a result of circumstances outside their control, and both call on the codes into which they were born to deal with it.

Most of these events happened. People from NZ’s history – governors, soldiers, warriors – walk through a story that moves from the Musket Wars in Taranaki to the battlefields of the American frontier, and back again to South Taranaki via colonial Auckland’s high society.

As well as a love story that crosses the racial divide, An End of Honour is the story of two highly-principled men who see beyond division, race and greed to agree that, if one has no honour, one has nothing.
