Rating: 4 1/4 stars

In book 6 and the finale of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, Torak knows that he must face the Soul Eater and Eagle Owl Mage, Eostra to save each and every tribe in the Forest and beyond.  Renn, his friend and mage-in-training, has had visions that Eostra will be the end of Torak, but she can't tell him that.  Torak doesn't want to have to be the one to fight Eostra, so he delays, but when she sends a disease through moths, and then a deadly ice storm, he has little choice but to go.  He tries to leave Renn and Wolf behind, but they know they must all stick together if they are to win the day.  Renn, Wolf and Torak will face many hardships as they travel to the Mountain of Ghosts and fans of this excellent series will find plenty of the same kinds of adventures that have followed our heroes throughout.  Although the series comes to a dramatic end, we are sure that our heroes will discover more thrilling stories as they bound through their lives.  A good finish.
