Overview

They called it rebellion. The land remembers it as resistance. In the Fire of War: The Untold Māori Resistance That Redefined New Zealand's History is a sweeping, cinematic journey through one of the most overlooked yet defining struggles in the story of Aotearoa. Blending historical truth with lyrical storytelling, Arshey Ashveil brings to life the courage, wisdom, and heartbreak of a people who refused to be erased. From the sacred fires of prophetic visionaries to the final stand at Ōrākau, from land confiscation to cultural revival, this book follows generations who fought not just with weapons-but with language, song, and memory. At the heart of this story is Kopu, a mysterious young woman whose spirit outlasts the battlefield, and Haki, a boy torn between two worlds, searching for belonging in a country being reshaped by force. Their journeys illuminate the endurance of Māori identity-and the truth that fire, once lit, can pass from hand to hand without ever going out. This is not just a book about war. It is a book about what comes after. About remembering. Reclaiming. Rising.
