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.

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.

Dazzling entertainment, seamless storytelling - Torak fights soul-sickness, the Otter Clan and the Hidden People, in his fourth adventure to vanquish the terrifying Soul-Eaters.
