About this book

While out hunting in the Forest, Torak encounters a man whose body and brain have been wasted by a horrifying disease. When the illness spreads to his foster clan, the Ravens, he sets off for the distant and alien land of the Seal Clan, where, it is rumoured, a cure can be found. Aided on his dangerous quest by his friend Renn and his pack brother, Wolf, Torak faces the deadly tokoroth - demon children - and betrayal by someone he trusts. In her follow-up to the British Book Award winner Wolf Brother, Michelle Paver again immerses readers in a fully realised physical and spiritual world, which has at its heart the loving and utterly believable relationship between boy and wolf.

About the author

Born in Malawi in 1960 to a Belgian mother and a father who ran the tiny 'Nyasaland Times', Michelle Paver moved to the UK when she was three. She was brought up in Wimbledon and, following a Biochemistry Degree from Oxford, she became a partner in a big City law firm.

She gave up the City to follow her long-held dream of becoming a writer. She is the author of the brilliantly successful children's series, The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness.
