Wolf Brother

In a world teeming with ancient magic and perilous spirits, "Wolf Brother" introduces Torak, a twelve-year-old boy thrust into an epic struggle for survival. After witnessing his father's brutal murder by a demon-possessed bear, Torak is burdened with a dying promise: to guide the monstrous creature to the elusive Mountain of the World Spirit. Alone and hunted, his journey through the treacherous wilderness is fraught with danger, yet a profound bond forms with a young wolf cub, his guide and companion. As Torak navigates a landscape inhabited by warring clans, mystical tree spirits, and the enigmatic Hidden People, he must not only outwit the relentless bear but also discover his own latent powers and embrace a destiny entwined with the very balance of his world. This gripping tale, the first in Michelle Paver's acclaimed Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, is a testament to courage, friendship, and the wild heart of humanity.
