The prize-winning finale to the CHRONICLES OF ANCIENT DARKNESS series and bestselling book, GHOST HUNTER is a compelling page-turner like no other written by renowned author Michelle Paver. As winter approaches and Souls' Night draws near, the Eagle Owl Mage holds the clans in the grip of terror. To fulfill his destiny, Torak must seek his lair in the Mountain of Ghosts. He must defy demons and tokoroths, and find his way through the Gorge of the Hidden People. Wolf must overcome terrible grief. Renn must make an agonizing decision. And in the final battle against the Soul-Eater, Torak must face the most heart-rending choice of all.

Reviews

'Michelle Paver's consistently splendid Chronicles of Ancient Darkness is an example of how gripping and life-enhancing the (children's book) genre can be' - THE TIMES 'Another triumph for Paver ... It outclasses CALL OF THE WILD and THE JUNGLE BOOK in the pace of its plot, its sympathetically imagined characters, and it's details of doings' - THE INDEPENDENT 'Fiction for children really doesn't get much better than this' - BOOKBAG.COM 'OATH BREAKER will keep you on the edge of your seat' - RED HOUSE on Oath Breaker
