Wolfbane

Book Synopsis

Grand finale to the prize-winning adventure series that’s changed the lives of millions of readers. Breathtaking world-building on an epic scale. Pure escapism at its best.
It is early spring, a turbulent, perilous time of sudden storms, frozen river fractures and drifting ice. Fleeing from a demon intent on devouring his souls, Wolf is swept out to Sea far from the Forest and his pack. The ocean too teems with danger: sea wolves, sharks and hunters of the deep, and the demon is gaining ground. Torak and Renn must race to save their pack-brother, battling the harsh, icy waves and merciless torrents. If they can’t find Wolf in time, the bond between them will be severed for ever…

Run wild with Wolf Brother for the last time in a Stone Age world we all want to be part of, with three-million-copy-selling author Michelle Paver, Creator of Legends.

Read WOLFBANE as a standalone adventure or as part of the well-loved series.

Our Review Panel says...

This is the much-anticipated grand finale to the prize-winning ‘Wolf Brother’ adventure series. The time has come for Torak to go head-to-head with the Demon Naiginn, but could it cause disastrous consequences for him and Wolf? Torak must hunt down the demon before the demon finds Wolf and eats his soul, giving him ultimate powers. Naiginn also has a new tool to help him – Wolfbane – also known as the wolf killing plant. Protecting Wolf becomes even more of a challenge when he gets lost on the ice. Will Torak find him before it’s too late? Will they escape the newly discovered Kelp clan? This is the last book in the suspenseful adventure series that follows Torak and his companion Wolf. Having read most of the books in the series, I was excited to read the final adventure and I was not disappointed. You do not have to have read every story in the series to be able to enjoy the narrative. There are links to the other story lines in the final book so that it is easy to understand. The story is filled with drama, adventure and cliff-hangers, which keep the reader engaged. The plot ends with a satisfying conclusion, which I will not divulge so as to keep the ending a secret for new readers. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves an adventure story and it is most likely to be enjoyed by children in Upper KS2, either as a standalone adventure or as part of the well-loved series.
