Produktbeschreibung
Norri is a young forester who dwells by the edge of the great forest that borders their land. He lives alone since he lost his father, and makes a poor living climbing the giant orkya trees to gather their nuts which he roasts and sells in the local tavern at the end of the week. There is a rumour and growing fear that their old enemies have found a way into their land. Norri and his friends are sent into the forest, to look for signs of them and the huge wolf-like grimulves that are reputed to accompany them. They find more than they feared, and the friends become separated. Norri begins the great journey of his life, propelled by need into many dangers. His friends Tom, Gordy and Brian are embroiled in the increasingly desperate war for which the Corrii have been long preparing.In the terrible struggle that ensues, much is lost but some things that are unexpected, are found.
Autorenporträt
David H. Webb lives in Sydney with his wife and their children. Originally he studied at the University of Sydney and Moore College. Later studies in counselling have been helpful in understanding people and developing complex characters. He set out to write books that he would have read, when he was in his teens - a fan of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. So these stories are fast moving with growing sense of dread, with the characters having to make desperate choices. The author hopes that any young person will find the books exciting and hard to put down, but they will also reward anyone for a second reading and deeper thought.
