?In those days, we were wolves and wolves were men, there was no difference, we were the world. That is what I live for: to touch with my finger, with the edge of my heart, the savage territory that survives in me, and when the wolves howl in the mountains I know I am not alone.?
That night when Liam was returning home from a hunting trip in the mountain forests, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. His five-year-old son, Aru, was not waiting for him in front of the house. In the courtyard he sees bear prints, and next to them, the lifeless body of his wife. Beneath her body, his son. Alive.
Although his life has fallen apart, Liam has one certitude: this savage world is not made for a child. Determined to entrust his son to others, he sets off on a long trip on horseback. But, in these deep dark forests, no one knows what can happen, least of all a man enraged and stricken with grief, accompanied by a terrified child.
