Autumn 1 - Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver
A boy. A wolf. A legend for all time. The first book in the internationally bestselling WOLF BROTHER (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness) series by renowned author Michelle Paver.
Torak is alone wounded, terrified, and on the run.
An outcast like his father, he has avoided all contact with the clans. But now his father lies dead: slaughtered by a demon in the form of a great bear.
Somehow, Torak must keep going. His only ally is an orphaned wolf cub .
And through the whispering spruce trees comes an evil more terrible than any clan can imagine. The Moon of Red Willow is fast approaching, and soon Torak must face a foe he can neither outrun nor outwit: a foe who stalks him as silently as breath
WOLF BROTHER carries you back thousands of years to the ancient darkness of the Forest: to a world steeped in natural magic and elemental terror - a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life
WOLF BROTHER is the first book in the CHRONICLES OF ANCIENT DARKNESS.
