Thousands of years ago an orphan boy and his wolf cub companion challenge a demo
n bear that threatens to destroy their world forever. With the help of the World
Spirit, Torak destroys the bear, but his beloved Wolf is lost in the ensuing av
alanche. And Torak's quest is far from over.
A strange, creeping sickness, si
lent and deadly, is threatening the Ravens. Word arrives that the Seal Clan have
the cure and Torak must face a lonely journey to find it. On the Seal's Island
he stumbles into a world utterly unlike his own.
Here life moves to the rhyth
ms of the sea, the Seals build shelters from whale bones and skim the waves in f
ast, beautiful kayaks. And here Torak is welcomed by the kindly Seal Mage, Tener
is, and kinsman, Bale. But all is not as it seems - Torak must keep his wits abo
ut him to judge who might be friend or foe.
As in 'Wolf Brother' Michelle Pav
er's sheer passion for her story set in a world of myth and natural magic, shine
s through in this skilfully woven, exciting and brilliantly satisfying second in
stalment of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness.
