Torak is alone... wounded, terrified, and on the run .

An outcast like his father, he has avoided all contact with the clans - until now. Now his father lies dead: slaughtered by a demon in the form of a great bear. Somehow, Torak must keep going. His only ally is an orphaned wolf cub. His only chance of survival is his skill as a hunter. But starvation isn't the only thing in the Forest to fear.

Through the whispering spruce trees comes an evil more terrible than any clan can imagine, let alone defeat.

Wolf Brother is an enthralling story of friendship, survival and betrayal. It carries you back thousands of years to the ancient darkness of the Forest: to a world steeped in natural magic and elemental terror: a world of wolves and aurochs, tree spirits and Hidden People; a world in which trusting a friend means risking vour life
