Publisher Description
“Fast-paced and exciting adventure that will enthrall every reader.” —Erin Hunter, author of the New York Times bestselling Warriors series
In the fifth book in Michelle Paver’s bestselling fantasy series, a struggling hero descends down a dark path. A thrilling read for fans of Brandon Mull and Jeanne DuPrau.
When he was outcast, Torak was the hunted one. Nine moons later he becomes the hunter when he vows to avenge the killing of one of his closest friends. Racked by guilt and grief, he follows the killer into the Deep Forest, where the World Spirit stalks the hidden valleys as a tall man with the antlers of a stag.
But there is a rottenness at the heart of the Forest, for its clans have succumbed to the lies of the Soul-Eaters. Here, Torak must face fire, war, and overwhelming evil. Oath Breaker is a story about keeping promises and the true cost of vengeance.
“Highly entertaining.” —New York Times Book Review

" Still waiting for Torak and Renn to kiss... "
— Shirley, 1/17/2014 -
" Very childish, plot is slow and constant twists make you feel that the author was only trying to prolong the series. "
— Brittain, 1/6/2014 -
" Like the other books in this series, this is a real page turner. Sometimes I find myself bored with overly long descriptive patches, but the cliffhanger chapter endings keep me from setting down the book. I eagerly anticipate the next volume! "

" Para que leer a Ingold si uno puede leer cronicas de la prehistoria? Aca esta todo!!! we know as we go, el conocimiento inscrito en la naturaleza y todo eso. Y tiene el plus de estar ambientado en el Holoceno Temprano-Medio, una epoca olvidada por la cultura popular. "

" A great read - very dark to begin with, but well-developped, and a terrific finish. Great development of complex relationships, with Wolf, Renn, and the cost of hatred and vengeance. Gotta love Rip and Rek, too, and I liked the intro of the sacred horse leader. "

About Michelle Paver
Michelle Paver was born in central Africa but went to England as a child. After earning a degree in biochemistry from Oxford University, she became a partner in a London law firm. She eventually gave that up to write full-time. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series came from Michelle’s lifelong passions for animals, anthropology, and the distant past—as well as an encounter with a large bear in a remote valley in Southern California. To research the books, she has traveled to Finland, Greenland, Sweden, Norway, Arctic Canada, and the Carpathian Mountains. She has slept on reindeer skins, swum with wild killer whales, and gotten nose to nose with polar bears—and, of course, wolves. The first four books have been made into widely acclaimed audiobooks, read by Ian McKellen.
