This book is the second book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. This book is about a boy named Torak that lives in a forest during the ancient times. Torak has been through many adventures and tragedies such as when his mother died when he was a baby and when his father died by being attacked by a bear. Torak has also learned many secrets about himself like how he is the listener and how he can talk to wolves.  Torak was living in the Raven clan with his friend Renn, when the leader of the clan, Fin-Kedinn, told everybody about a terrible sickness that had infected the clans and the forest. Everybody was terrified when they heard this news. This sickness caused people to kill and be very, very crazy.  Everyone knew that only Torak could find the cure to the sickness and save all of the clans in the forest. This book is about Torak fights monsters, demons, whales, and even mages to find the cure for the sickness. He will have to go all the way to the sea with the seal clan to find the cure. On this adventure Torak will learn secrets about himself and his father that will change his life forever.  I think this book will appeal to boys and girls of all ages.  I also think that any reader that likes adventures and action-packed books will love this series.  It is 356 pages long and not that difficult to read. I think you will love this book and I also think the author of this series is brilliant and should continue to write books.  I really, really recommend you read this series.  I know I will continue.
