In the first book of the series, a boy named Torak must confront a demon bear to save the world from destruction.
In Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: Wolf Brother, readers are transported to a time thousands of years ago, where a dark and malevolent force threatens the world. A powerful demon, trapped within the body of a ferocious bear, seeks to wreak havoc and destruction. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, and the only one who can stand against this evil is a young boy named Torak. This gripping tale unfolds as Torak witnesses the tragic murder of his father at the hands of the bear, who is the embodiment of the demon's wrath. With a dying wish from his father echoing in his mind, Torak embarks on a perilous journey to fulfill a promise that could save humanity.
As Torak navigates through a treacherous landscape filled with wolves, tree spirits, and the enigmatic Hidden People, he learns that trust is a luxury he cannot afford. The quest leads him to the fabled Mountain of the World Spirit, a place of great mystery that has eluded all who sought it. Alongside a loyal wolf companion, Torak faces numerous challenges that test his courage and resolve. Each encounter brings him closer to understanding his own strength and the true meaning of friendship.
Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: Wolf Brother is not just an adventure story; it is a tale of growth, bravery, and the bond between humans and nature. As Torak battles the demon bear and the looming threat of the Soul-Eaters, readers are drawn into a richly woven narrative that explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the struggle between good and evil.
Wolf Brother combines elements of fantasy, prehistoric fiction and facts, to make a brilliant book. This the first in a series of six (and one of the best, too). I would recommend it to any one who likes wolves (essential!), magic and stone age people! * THE GUARDIAN *

The story is a rich tale full strong with the themes of survival, magic and folklore. Michelle Paver manages to install the same dreams in the reader's head that she once had herself - the dream to run with wolves in a prehistoric forest. * FANTASY BOOK REVIEW *
