Michelle Paver

6,000 years in the past, twelve-year-old Torak and his guide, a wolf cub, set out on a dangerous journey to fulfill an oath the boy made to his dying father--to travel to the Mountain of the World Spirit seeking a way to destroy a demon-possessed bear that threatens all the clans.

When a deadly illness begins to afflict the clans, twelve-year-old Torak, with help from Renn and Wolf, embarks on a journey to find a cure.

He follows the killer into the Deep Forest, but something is wrong there, the clans have succumbed to the lies of the Soul-Eaters and so he must face fire, war, and evil there.
