...One Path: The White King by Greg Broadmore Book Signing
Join us at the Wētā Cave in Wellington for an exclusive book signing with the legendary Greg Broadmore.
Book Two of the epic One Path saga has arrived — and it's brutal, breathtaking and unmissable.
In a savage prehistoric world, One Path flees her tribe with a cursed infant, hunted across endless forests and mountains by her own sister's war-band — and something far older and far worse: the White King, an ancient T-Rex rising from hibernation with one purpose.
Be in to win a signed book and print! Books also available for sale in-store.
Saturday 13 June, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, Wētā Cave, Wellington
