A few months ago, Torak was an exile, but now that his best friend is killed and the fire opal is stolen, he vows revenge and becomes a pursuer. He goes in pursuit of the Soul Eater, and with him are his adoptive father, the leader of the Seal tribe, and the girl with whom Torak is in love. The young man himself does not belong to any of the tribes; he hunts with a Wolf and two ravens. Their path lies in the Heart of the Forest, where mysterious trees grow, where unknown animals live, where their own laws and customs reign - and where tribal war blazes. A fascinating story about friendship, loyalty and revenge.
