Wolf Brother Award-winning author by Michelle Paver (author) (UK edition)

The first episode in Michelle Paver’s riveting saga of suspense and primal magic, set 6000 years ago. In Torak’s shadow-world of snow, forests, bears and shamanic rituals, life is harsh and fragile. When his father, Fa the mage, dies of mortal wounds from a spirit-possessed bear, his dying words bind Torak to a quest. He must seek and find the mythical Mountain of the World Spirit, who will give him the strength to defeat the demonic beast… From extensive research about how the people of Northern Europe may have lived thousands of years ago, Michelle Paver has fashioned a truly remarkable portrait of life and belief in a dawning world.
