Her cry rips the souls from your marrow. With her spear she snares them. She devours them. Eostra truly is an eater of souls. Winter is coming. Souls' Night draws near. Eostra, the Eagle Owl Mage, holds the clans in the grip of terror. Torak must leave the Forest and seek her lair in the Mountain of Ghosts, while Renn faces an agonizing decision. Wolf, their faithful pack-brother, must overcome wrenching grief. And in the final battle against the forces of darkness, Torak will make the most shattering choice of all. Ghost Hunter, the final book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, draws the reader for the last time into the shadowy world of the deep past and brings Torak to the end of his incredible journey.VOYAA strange sleeping sickness decimates the woodland clans. Moths gather in odd clusters, their dust virulent and deadly. Torak, tormented by visions of his dead father, recognizes Eostra's work and sets out to find the Eagle Owl Mage in the mountains. He watches a huge Eagle Owl land near Darkfur and her pups but arrives too late to save them—Darkfur falls off a cliff, into the raging river below. One pup, Shadow, is killed, and the Owl flies off with Pebble in its talons. Wolf is inconsolable. Torak's destiny promises death at Eostra's hands. He goes willingly to meet it, but Renn refuses to let him go alone. Old friends appear to ease their journey. In a terrifying battle in the depths of the mountains, Torak destroys Eostra but sacrifices himself. Only Wolf's undying devotion coaxes Torak's spirit back to his body and brings him back to life. Paver has produced this six-book series without a misstep. The primitive setting imparts timelessness to both characters and plot, ensuring their continued popularity. Her impeccable research is evident in every detail and lends unusual authenticity to her work. Consistent writing, nonstop action, and endearing characters set these books apart. Although a great many readers will be sad to see this series end, the bittersweet conclusion is both satisfying and realistic: Wolf finds Darkfur and Pebble injured but alive, and Renn forsakes her own clan to leave with Torak. This innovative series has earned a place in every school and public library. Reviewer: Nancy Wallace
