Kerlew stared at the immense stone that jutted up from the tundra. Power radiated from it like heat from a fire. It attracted the boy and filled him with fear.
And then he was alone.
There was a brush of sound, of dark moving shadows and then the sudden flash of a glistening eye. He pressed his palms back against the stoneâs rough surface and faced the night creatures that surrounded him.
The magic is strong in Kerlew. Every day it grows, reaching out to the Wolf spirit that will be his guide. But the magic in Kerlew that calls to the beasts and to the spirit world also calls to Carp, the evil old shaman, who follows Kerlew and his mother, Tillu, across the frozen wastes. When he finds them, he will bind them to him, and shape Kerlewâs powers for his own uses.
