The sixth and final book in her Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series.

Michelle Paver is best known for her children's series, 'Chronicles of Ancient Darkness'.

Charting the adventures of a Stone Age teenager called Torak, his wolf companion and best friend Renn, the series is set in a prehistoric world circa 6,000 BC - a world of clans, evil soul eaters and natural magic. Jenni talks to Michelle about her work and about the extensive research she does to make her stories as real as possible. Her research has included learning the ways of the Inuit people, swimming with killer whales, eating seal blubber, and getting to know the ways of wolves.
