Then the most powerful witch in the world of Starfell turns up at Willow’s door and asks for her help. A whole day - last Tuesday to be precise - has gone missing. Completely.

Summary
The grand finale to the prize-winning adventure series that has changed the lives of millions. Breathtaking world-building on an epic scale. Pure escapism at its best.
It is early spring, a turbulent, perilous time of sudden storms, frozen river fractures and drifting ice. Fleeing from a demon intent on devouring his souls, Wolf is swept out to sea far from the forest and his pack. The ocean, too, teems with danger: sea wolves, sharks and hunters of the deep, and the demon is gaining ground. Torak and Renn must race to save their pack-brother, battling the harsh icy waves and merciless torrents. If they can't find Wolf in time, the bond between them will be severed forever....
Run wild with Wolf Brother for the last time in a Stone Age world we all want to be part of.
Listen to Wolfbane as a stand-alone adventure or as part of the well-loved series.

Tinged with sadness
Wolf Bane, the last audio book in this wonderful series by Michelle Paver read by Sir Ian McKellen.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed these fantastic books, and how much I am going to miss them !
But I have them to listen too, for all time so I’m certain that I shall return to them from time to time . Ian McKellen is magnificent and one believes in each character, whether it be Torak Renn or Wolf 🐺
If you haven’t heard them,just give Wolf Brother a try and you will be hooked. The most fabulous listen you are likely to hear!

Theres something in both my eyes
I finished the 6th (and at the time final) audiobook in the series when I was a teenager, so as an adult I was as apprehensive as I was delighted to learn there’d be an entire sequel trilogy. There’s always a chance revisiting a beloved world will taint the remembered magic.
Happily, I can report that Michelle Paver has more than reignited the prehistoric bright-beast-that-bites-hot inside me; it was a pure joy to return to Torak’s world.
I haven’t read the physical books, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Sir Ian McKellen’s voice and performance is in large part responsible for this continuity of feeling. There is no question these are the characters we knew all those years ago, and any simplicity or repetitiveness inherent to YA writing (which we may have more readily excused in youth) is camouflaged by Sir Ian’s masterful vocal colour.
A small, selfish part of me would have liked to see the writing style mature as its audience has, but the thought of new young readers discovering and devouring all 9 books is too enchanting.
In any case, if you’ve gotten this far with the audiobooks, do not hesitate to pick up Wolf Bane.
After all this time, Michelle and Sir Ian have brought it home - and I am so very grateful.
