Product Description

Torak has survived the summer and his heart-stopping adventure in the Seal Islands. He and Wolf are together again. But their reunion is all too short-lived. As mid winter approaches Torak learns the worst from the White Fox clan - Wolf has been snatched. In a desperate bid to rescue him, Torak and Renn must brave the frozen wilderness of the Far North. They tread a deadly dangerous path as they step into a world of deceit, treachery and lies and come face to face with the the most powerful and feared mages alive. Cruel Thiazzi, the Oak Tree Mage, Seshru the Viper Mage, beautiful and manipulative, and Nef the gruff Bat Mage - here too is Eostra, the mysterious Masked One - all of them bound by their desire for all creatures to bow before them. Under the dark wings of night Torak confronts vengeful ice bears, mistrust, broken promises and a terrifying evil. Another step is taken on his quest to destroy the Soul-Eaters, but with it comes the burden of an utterly chilling secret of his own...

Review
'continues to make gripping reading' (Jennifer Taylor THE BOOKSELLER )

'a great read; Paver's talent to create worlds brings the novel to life and is coupled with a tight plot which carries the reader along a breakneck speed and never allows the action to flag... once you pick it up, you will not want to put it down.' (Margaret Brown, Waterstone's Kirkcaldy WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY )

'Through her clever storytelling you feel as though you are journeying with Torak to rescue Wolf.' (Hannah, Age 12 AQUILA )

Be transported back in time with the Ancient Darkness Series
Following on from "Wolf Brother" and "Spirit Walker", this is Book 3 in the series.

Torak and Renn's challenges in Stone Age Scandinavia continue, and Torak now starts to embrace the path destiny intended for him. He knows he must try to defeat the Soul Eaters... only he knows how...

Torak is forced into action when his faithful companion and pack-brother Wolf is captured. He has to find him... but when the trail leads right up into the Far North frozen lands, he and Renn begin to wonder if they can even survive....

Fast-paced, vivid descriptions, and the story seems brilliantly authentic. A gripping read for older children and adults alike. If you haven't read books 1 and 2, read them first. I can't wait to read book 4!

soul eater
soul eater and the other two chronicles of ancient darkness are the best books i've ever read. Michelle pavers way of describing things relly brings the story to live and for a moment you really believe that you are there with Torak, Wolf and Renn back in the times of hunter gatherers.

Reading the books make you want to be there with Torak and to be able to track and hunt just like him.Wolf is just always there for torak and renn is very brave to face soul eaters.Brilliant read highly recommended!

Good but not as good as the two before it.
It starts of as Torak and Renn are hunting deer in the forest when Wolf goes running off to chase after some strange prey. After he does not come back they are told by three passing members of an allied tribe that they saw a struggling bundle on a sledge with captors heading North. They set off north into the land of snow and ice and there uncover many secrets...

...a good book. Would recommend.
