In the icy shadow of an abandoned, mountain-top castle lives a pack of wolves, struggling to survive in a snowy, barren winter. A legend clings to their frozen home - a story of man and wolf, of power and of death. One dark night, they scent danger in the frozen wind - Morgra, a lone wolf cast out of her pack. Her howl travels through the night carrying a deadly secret. She has The Sight. Her eyes can see into the minds of other living things; her heart is eaten up with bitterness. Her power leads her to exact a terrible revenge on her own kind...One young wolf may be able to stop her: Larka, a white wolf whose eyes carry the same dark power, but whose heart is good...

In an epic tale of good and evil, legend and history, and the blessing and curse of an extraordinary gift of the Sight (an ability to see through others' minds and into the future), David Clement-Davies obliges the many fans of Fire Bringer with a new fantasy novel. The Sight features a Transylvanian wolf clan faced with the terrifying changes brought about by Morgra, a bitter she-wolf determined to fulfill an ancient legend in order to have supreme power over all Vargs (wolves). Young Larka, a white wolf pup born with the Sight, embarks with her brother Fell and the rest of her family on an extraordinary quest for truth and salvation, with shocking consequences that even the most astute reader may not foresee. Clement-Davies's multilayered and elaborate plot will keep young readers riveted for hours on end, drawing on Christianity, fairy tales, and mythology in a colossal allegory and cautionary tale for its human audience. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter
David Clement-Davies lives in London and works as a writer and travel journalist. His first novel, Fire Bringer, was published by MacMillan Children's Books in October 1999.
