Publisher's Summary
A cry echoed through the forest. He froze. It was not the yowl of a vixen, or a lynx seeking a mate. It was a man. Or something that had once been a man. With a creeping sense of dread, Torak watched the light between the trees begin to fail ...

Torak is a boy apart. A boy who can talk to wolves. A boy who must vanquish the Soul Eaters ... or die trying. As the Moon of No Dark waxes high, the clans fall prey to a horrifying sickness. Fear stalks the Forest. The very breath of summer seems poisoned. No-one knows the cause - and only Torak can find the cure. His quest takes him across the sea to the mysterious islands of the Seal Clan. Here Torak battles an unseen maenace and uncovers a betrayal that will change his life forever.

Changes from Wolf Brother
Torak now lives with Ravens. He shares a shelter with a man named Oslak. Wolf is gone, living in the mountains with his new pack. The demon bear is dead and the Raven leader Fin-Kedinn has forbid anyone to speak of it again.
