The Sight (Action Packs) Review
The Sight (Action Packs) Overview
In a work of great scope and imagination, David Clement-Davies, author of the highly acclaimed Fire Bringer, takes us to the dark forests of old Transylvania and into the minds of wolves.
Morgra, a she-wolf of mysterious and frightening abilities, was once cast out of her pack for an unnatural crime and forced to wander the hostile lands of Transylvania alone. Through cunning and natural dominance, Morgra survives and makes herself leader of a strange pack of male warrior wolves. She demands the subservience of all free wolf packs and a tithe of their pups. One among these young has an extraordinary power that the old she-wolf covets-an ability to see into the minds of other animals, including humans. Morgra is prepared to do anything to control this power, and her dark arts can summon demons and the walking dead. But Larka, the young wolf Morgra seeks, was born into a pack with the strength and heart to defy their new leader, and their rebellion will set in motion a great struggle for the minds and souls of all wolves.
Drawing on lupine myths and stories from Romulus and Remus to Little Red Riding Hood, David Clement-Davies weaves a story of terror and beauty, where wolves are saviors and demons, good and evil, much like the world's other great predator-man.
The Sight (Action Packs) Specifications
In an epic tale of good and evil, legend and history, and the blessing and curse of an extraordinary gift of the Sight (an ability to see through others' minds and into the future), David Clement-Davies obliges the many fans of Fire Bringer with a new fantasy novel. The Sight features a Transylvanian wolf clan faced with the terrifying changes brought about by Morgra, a bitter she-wolf determined to fulfill an ancient legend in order to have supreme power over all Vargs (wolves). Young Larka, a white wolf pup born with the Sight, embarks with her brother Fell and the rest of her family on an extraordinary quest for truth and salvation, with shocking consequences that even the most astute reader may not foresee. Clement-Davies's multilayered and elaborate plot will keep young readers riveted for hours on end, drawing on Christianity, fairy tales, and mythology in a colossal allegory and cautionary tale for its human audience.
