Publisher Description
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.

A most wonderful story, even for adult readers
I read Wolf Brother and all six books in the series as a kid, and have had them as a foundational story in my childhood. The six hardback books have been with me now for soon 20 years and are still nicely waiting to be reread someday, perhaps when I have kids of my own. Those books are in Norwegian, however, and although I suspect they had a good translation, I was curious to read the original now since so much time has passed I can’t remember much at all of the story I read as a 10-11 year ols boy. Thanks Michelle for the great story! Meant a lot for me as a kid to read about Torak and still does
