Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit's help to overcome it. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son of the burden that is his.

Only one boy can stop it - 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear.

Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest.
