This graphic novel is about Meariki, a slave who serves a chief's only daughter, Hineamuru. When Hineamuru is abducted by a warlock, Meariki and Pāhi, a young warrior and Hineamuruā's lover, go on a hazardous journey to rescue Hineamuru.

This is the Māori-language version of Meariki: The Quest for Truth. This is part of the Matawehi Fables/Ngā Waituhi o Matawehi. Another title is also available in English, Arohanui: The Revenge of the Fey, and in Māori, Arohanui: Te Utu a Ngā i Parehe.
