In the magical kingdom Arohanui, ruled by the wise and gentle Wolfhounds of the royal house of Kuri te Aroha, a dark force rises. The queen's daughter Bridie commands the guard of the only passage into the kingdom but as vigilant as she and her ladies are, evil finds its entry into their stronghold. They must forge unexpected alliances with others of their kind, along with the magical and unusual creatures of the kingdom, if they are to defeat this evil.

The Battle for Arohanui will be fierce, from the mountains, across the plains and to the shores of the lake, blood will be shed, lives will be lost. They will rediscover their ancient bonds with the very land itself and learn that their greatest weapon lies within themselves. Great feats will be achieved and things once thought to be mythical will be again seen upon the land. With the strength of their inner belief and their commitment to their queen, they will learn to conquer the five headed venene and perhaps even the shedragon herself.

The evil which stalks this land though is far greater than the shedragon. Bridie and her friends will discover they are merely pawns in the age old battle between Good and Evil.
