In a new Wolf Brother adventure, Torak, Renn and Wolf face a devastating Dark Time that threatens everything they know. Something is coming that will test the Clans as never before, as they forge new ways to live and thrive in their beloved Forest. A boy. A wolf. The legend lives on. In the Dark Time of midwinter, something is coming that will test the Clans as never before. Book eight of Michelle Paver' s bestselling Wolf Brother series continues the dazzling adventure of Torak, Wolf and Renn - a story full of myth, menace, natural magic and exhilarating entertainment. In the Dark Time of midwinter, disaster strikes the Forest. Chaos rules. Bears woken from their dens prowl the shadowy valleys. Desperate clans battle for survival. Only demons thrive. With their world in turmoil, Torak, Renn and Wolf are tested as never before. And as a new evil haunts the devastated land, Torak must risk his sanity, his life and even his souls to save everything he loves. . . Skin Taker carries you back to the Stone Age, drawing you deeper into the astonishing adventure which began with Wolf Brother and has captivated millions of readers.
PRAISE FOR VIPER' S DAUGHTER: ' Meticulously researched, atmospheric [. . . ] and relentless, this instalment deservedly introduces Paver to a new generation of readers' Guardian. ' What rich, dazzling, immersive storytelling. The landscape was so bright the light left me blinking, the details as sharp as a carved bone needle. To journey with Torak and Renn, and Wolf, whose ears were so keen he could hear the clouds pass, was an absolute privilege. The best book I have read this year by a country mile' Hilary McKay, author of The Skylarks' War. ' It was such a thrill to revisit Torak, Wolf and Renn' s world. I was enthralled from start to finish. Viper' s Daughter is sharp, striking, and loaded with the wisdom of the deep past. I am in awe of Paver' s accomplishment' Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs. ' Michelle Paver is a writer of extraordinary talent. I was enthralled, from start to finish. The storytelling was every bit as vivid and immersive as I remembered . . . Michelle is in a league of her own with this series and what luck for us all that she hasn' t finished with Torak, Renn and Wolf' s world yet' Abi Elphinstone, author of Rumblestar. ' Skillful, satisfying, and minutely researched, this powerful evocation of an ancient world is vivid in its imagery and captivating in its excitement' Adrienne Byrne, Muswell Hill Children' s Bookshop.
