About this listen

 6,000 years ago, the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunters and gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a world steeped in enchantment, menace, and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malignant force conjures up a demon; a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear; a demon so hungry for death that it slays everything it sees; a demon with the potential to destroy the world. Only Torak and his wolf companion can save the world.©2004 Michelle Paver (P)2004 Orion Publishing Group Ltd.

Critic Reviews

"The kind of story you dream of reading and all too rarely find. The vivid prose leaps off the page." ( The Times)

A wonderful story, beautifully performed by Sir Ian. I say "performed" because he does so much more than simply read the book. The story is well paced, and easy to follow. Highly recommend this to pre teens, teens and adults alike.

It is not very often that you find a new series of books that are this good. Everything about this book is excellent. The story, the writing, the narration. If you are hesitating about purchasing this book, rest assured: you will love it.
