A boy. A wolf. A legend for all time. The first book in the internationally bestselling Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series by renowned author Michelle Paver.

Thousands of years ago, a powerful and malevolent force conjured a demon: a demon so evil that it could only be contained in the body of a ferocious bear, a demon determined to destroy the world. Only one boy can stop it …

Twelve-year-old Torak sees his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, he asks his son to make him a promise. Alone, wounded, terrified and on the run, Torak must now lead the bear to the Mountain of the World Spirit – a mountain that no one has ever found before. But can Torak keep his promise?

A terrifying quest commences in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.

Audio edition also available, read by Sir Ian McKellen.

Latest sequels Oath Taker and Viper’s Daughter published in 2020-21.

The book has sad parts like when Ren and Torak almost die of frostbite, or when Torak's father dies because of the bear. Overall, it is an outstanding book I can't wait to read book two!

This is the best book I've read this summer. It is the kind of story thrilling, magical and complete page turner. I read it in one day and can't wait to read the whole series!

I think it is a very engaging but in it there are some very gruesome bit so I give it 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5. I love it so much I would really recommend it to you!

I really liked the book, it was enjoyable to read. I don't know whether it was fiction or factual. My favourite character was wolf because he was funny and he played a big part to help Torak on his journey to the mountain spirit. I would recommend it 10+.

This is a fictional book about a boy who has to survive in the wilderness alone after his father... okay that went too close to a spoiler alert! The boy's name is Torak. He is an amazing tracker and eventually finds a wolf. And well that's all I'm going to tell you. This book is sooo good. You HAVE to read it!! Stay safe at home during Covid and peace out everyone!

I found this book hard going to start with but then got into it. There is a lot of writing on each page so not so quick to get through the chapters. It was fiction. It is set thousands of years ago. I liked the wolf best. This is the first book of a series.

I liked this book because it was an adventure. I liked Wolf best because he was the guide and helped Torak. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories
