Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest. Its people know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees. Only one boy can stop it - 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear.
