Wolf Brother
Torak is twelve years old when his father is killed by a bear possessed by a demon. As he is dying,
he tells Torak to swear to find the Mountain of the World Spirit and ask for the Spirit's help in
destroying the bear. On his journey he encounters Wolf, a lone wolf cub whose family is dead. Wolf
becomes Torak's guide. Torak and Wolf are captured by the Raven Clan; they are befriended by Renn,
the prickly and outspoken niece of the clan's leader Fin-Kedinn. Torak appears to be the fulfilment
of a prophecy about a "listener" who will give his heart's blood to the mountain of the world spirit,
kill the bear and defy the Soul Eaters, a group of erstwhile mages who once were called the healers
but then turned to evil and are trying to take power over the forest. Together Torak, Wolf and Renn
journey to the Mountain, collecting the three parts of the Nanuak that Torak needs to offer to the
World Spirit. Renn's brother Hord follows Torak. At the Mountain, as the bear gets closer, Torak and
Hord fight. Wolf runs off, taking the Nanuak to the mountain, as Hord and the bear are killed in an
avalanche. Wolf leaves to join a pack of wolves and Torak returns to the Raven Clan.
Spirit Walker
The clans fall prey to a mysterious sickness. Torak embarks on a search for a cure, which takes him
to mysterious islands where the Seal Clan live. The Seal Mage, Tenris, promises to help him make
a remedy. Torak meets a Seal Clan boy named Bale, who later becomes his friend. While on the island,
Torak discovers that he is a spirit walker: his souls can move into other creatures, allowing him to
feel and think as they do, but still remain himself. Tenris is not as helpful as he originally seemed:
he is one of the Soul Eaters and plans to increase his powers by eating Torak's heart and becoming
a spirit walker. Torak finds out that Tenris was actually his uncle. As Tenris is about to kill Torak,
Renn wounds Tenris, allowing Torak to escape. Tenris is killed by a killer whale, known as the hunter.
But how has the mysterious sicknous started? Renn figures that out later...
Soul Eater
In their desire to subjugate all the clans, the Soul Eaters have captured a range of hunting animals
including Wolf - which they will sacrifice to unleash demons. They plan to control the demons with a
fire opal. Torak and Renn make a dangerous journey across the frozen wilderness into the Far North to
rescue Wolf; their friendship is tested to the limits and they get separated. They escape, but not
before the Soul Eaters brand Torak against his will as one of them. Renn, meanwhile, has possession of
the fire-opal and is about to sacrifice herself to destroy it. Nef, one of the soul eaters, saves her
and sacrifices herself instead, to repay Torak's father for a favour he once did her. Fin-Kedinn and
some of the Raven Clan make the journey North and save Renn and Torak, and bring them back home.
Outcast
After the secret of his Soul Eater mark is discovered, Torak is cast out by the clans, though Renn
fiercely and furiously does all she can to stop it. Bale, who has travelled to the forests from his
island in the sea, teams up with Renn to go after him: Renn helps him and then both Renn and Bale
follow him as Torak wanders, suffering from insanity. Renn and Bale fight along the way, as Bale
treats Renn condescendingly because of his beliefs about women, and he is confused about how strong
and insistent Renn is. Renn sends help to Torak in the form of two ravens, which Torak has named Rip
and Rek. While Torak is recovering his reason, Seshru the Viper Mage, a Soul Eater, uses her powers
to draw him to her so she can control him. Renn and Bale together defy clan law by trying to help
Torak. Seshru is revealed to be Renn's mother. Torak shows the clans that destroying him will not help
them in their struggle against the Soul Eaters, and they accept him back. Fin-kedinn makes torak his
foster son. Renn is about to kill Seshru, but Bale steals her bow and kills Seshru himself, because
Renn would be tainted if she killed her own mother. Fin-kedinn changes toraks outcast tattoo, making
him part of all types of clans.
Oath Breaker
Bale is murdered by Thiazzi the Oak Mage, who then takes the final piece of the fire opal. Torak vows
to avenge Bale's death, and with Renn, Wolf and Fin-Kedinn follows Thiazzi into the Deep Forest where
the Forest Horse and Auroch (sic) Clans are at war. As Torak, Renn and Fin-Kedinn are about to enter
the Deep Forest, Fin-Kedinn is injured and turns back. Torak and Renn discover that Thiazzi is
controlling the Deep Forest clans by impersonating their mages. A forest fire takes hold and Torak and
Renn are separated. Torak finds his way to Thiazzi, while Renn is kidnapped by a Deep Forest tribe.
She defies the tribe and their belief that women can't be mages, by insisting that she is a mage and
showing them her bond with Wolf and the ravens, Rip and Rek. She is then kidnapped by Thiazzi and
imprisoned in a giant, hollow tree, where she cuts herself free in time to escape choking on smoke.
She climbs to the top, from where she sees Torak fighting Thiazzi. She throws a burning brand of wood
to Torak. and a burning ember sets fire to Thiazzi's hair; he falls to his death as Eostra's Eagle Owl
snatches the fire opal from the Oak Mage. Many months later, Wolf and his mate Darkfur show Torak and
Renn their new cubs.
Ghost Hunter
The Eagle Owl Mage, Eostra, sends a shadow sickness among the clans, and makes her owl kill one of
Wolf's cubs and fly off with another. Renn and Torak venture to the Mountain of Ghosts with a grieving
Wolf to stop Eostra from killing all life in the forest. When Renn injures her leg because of Eostra's
demon dogs, Torak leaves without her: when she has recovered, she goes after him, furious. Torak is
captured by a strange boy named Dark who has been cast out by his clan. After much pleading, Dark
releases Torak and ventures with him to the Mountain of Ghosts. There they meet Renn, who had stopped
to rescue Darkfur, who had gone miles in the snow with an infected wound to rescue her last cub. They
find Eostra summoning the ghosts of the dead Soul Eaters, including Torak's father. The Walker, who
appeared mad when Torak and Renn previously met him in Wolf Brother, arrives and reveals himself to be
Narrander, the seventh Soul Eater thought to have been killed in a great fire years before. Narrander
summons the Hidden People to cause a rockfall. Eostra falls into a crevice pulling Torak with her.
Shortly afterwards, Wolf finds Torak's body and forces Torak's spirit to re-enter it. Renn, Dark, Rip
and Rek reunite with Torak and Wolf. Three months later, Dark is named the new Raven Mage, and, after
saying goodbye to Fin-Kedinn and promising to return one day, Torak and Renn become a mated pair and
head out to travel the world with Wolf, Darkfur, the surviving cub Pebble, and ravens Rip and Rek.
