Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #2
by Michelle Paver
He staggered to his feet, swaying and squinting at the sun. Then he crashed
through the trees as if all the demons of the Otherworld were after him.
Torak raised himself on one elbow, breathing hard.
The birds had fallen silent.
The Forest looked on, appalled.
Slowly, Torak stood up. He felt the wind veering around to the east, turning
chill. A shiver ran through the trees. They began to murmur to one another.
Torak wished he knew what they were saying. But he knew what they were feeling,
because he felt it too: something rising and blowing through the Forest.
It is coming.
Sickness.
Torak ran to fetch his quiver and bow. No time to retrieve the willow bark. He
had to get back to camp, and warn the Ravens.
