Thousands of years ago,the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. 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.
Only one boy can stop it - 12-year-old Torak,who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath,Torak's father tells his son of his burden. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit's help to overcome it.
A terrifying quest in a world of wolves,tree spirits and Hidden People,a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.
