An End of Honour draws on the short, bloody and desperate clash that was 'Titokowaru's War' in the Taranaki of 1868-69. Ngati Ruahine tohunga, warrior and general Titokowaru and John Selby Hunter, from Virginia by way of the American Civil War, rise above carnage, treachery & self-interest to agree that, if one has no honour, one has nothing.
