What to expect

A boy. A wolf. A legend for all time. The fourth book in the internationally bestselling WOLF BROTHER (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness) series by renowned author Michelle Paver. Audio edition read by Sir Ian McKellen.

Cast out from the clans and hunted by all, Torak is on the run. Cut off even from Wolf and Renn, he takes refuge in unknown territory - the haunted reedbeds of Lake Axehead, where he is menaced by the Hidden People. But other threats lurk nearby and his battle with the Soul-Eaters is far from over ...

As he fights for his life, Torak uncovers a deception too awful to contemplate, one that shakes him to the core and shatters the world as he knows it.

Critics Review

  • Paver skilfully enters different perspectives to depict an entire human culture in action. There’s nothing “primitive” about her hunter-gatherers… she shows a dignified and resourceful culture rooted in a strong sense of connection with its environment.

    THE GUARDIAN
  • Michelle Paver keeps every minute tingling with excitement, mystery and adventure.

    KIDSREADS
  • It’s a gripping adventure story that’s so full of superb description of time and place that you feel utterly transported into Torak’s world and that of his pack-brother Wolf.
