Six thousand years ago, Evil stalks the land. Only twelve-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through deep forests, across giant glaciers, and into dangers they never imagined. Torak and Wolf are joined by a cast of characters as they battle to save their world, in this first book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness.
