The fourth episode in this prehistoric epic pitches young
spirit-walker Torak into a struggle to keep his multiple "souls"
out of the clutches of the power-mad Viper Mage. Unjustly accused
of being a Soul Stealer, Torak is cast out of his clan and summoned
by the Mage, who inflicts him with a "soul-sickness" that robs him
of his superb woodcraft, his intimate awareness of the world and,
almost, his ability to tell good from evil. The vividly interwoven
natural and spiritual settings that have distinguished this series
emerge in long stretches seen from the point-of-view of Wolf,
Torak's faithful four-legged companion. Much of the journey and
ensuing confrontation, however, seems distant, filtered through
Torak's sharply felt inner turmoil. Paver moves her cast along,
springs major revelations and brings everything around right in the
end, but the plot's most dramatic elements (notably a major flood
that is over in half a page) take a back seat to character
development. (Fantasy. 11-13) (Kirkus Reviews)
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.
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.
