Outcast
by Michelle Paver
The fourth installment in Paver's exciting Chronicles of Darkness series tells the story of orphan Torak, cast out from his clan when the tattoo of a Soul Eater is revealed on his chest. Neither his friend Renn nor her uncle, the Raven Leader, can save him.
Torak, and his wolf pack-brother, flee into the forest, pursued by hunters and by Seshru, the Soul Eater. Torak bravely cuts the evil tattoo from his chest but even this desperate action doesn’t stop Seshru from finding him..
Set six thousand years ago, this story has all the drama, tension and adventure of a contemporary novel.
