Wolf Brother: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness

About the Book: Wolf Brother: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness

A Special Edition of the first book in the bestselling CHRONICLES OF ANCIENT DARKNESS series.

Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world. Only one boy can stop it-12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Toraks father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirits help to overcome it. Torak is an unwilling hero. He is scared and trusts no one. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human. Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.
