Summary: "The Daughter of the Dawn: A Realistic Story of Maori Magic" by William Reginald Hodder is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story intertwines elements of Māori culture with themes of magic and adventure, centering around the character Dick Warnock, also known as Wanaki, who embarks on a quest to uncover the fate of Miriam Grey, a woman believed to be lost among the Māori. At the start of the novel, we meet Warnock as he prepares to search for Miriam, who mysteriously disappeared years ago after arriving in New Zealand. His journey leads him to the mystical Māori chief, Aké Aké, who tells him of a sacred record and hints at the powerful magic tied to both the history of the Māori and a figure named Hinauri, the Daughter of the Dawn. The opening chapters establish a rich tapestry of Māori folklore, reveal the importance of ancient wisdom, and suggest an impending adventure that combines both personal and supernatural stakes as Warnock seeks to solve the mystery of Miriam’s fate while confronting the magical forces woven into the land’s history.
