About Michelle Paver

Michelle Paver was born in central Africa, but moved to England as a child. After earning a degree in biochemistry from Oxford University, she became a partner in a London law firm, but eventually gave that up to write full-time. Chronicles of Ancient Darkness arises from her lifelong passions for animals, anthropology, and the distant past. It was also inspired by her travels in Norway, Lapland, Iceland, and the Carpathian Mountains—and particularly by an encounter with a large bear in a remote valley in Southern California.

Overly preoccupied at the time I somehow managed to not see (or hear) of......more

"Outcast" is the fourth in the series and as captivating, well-written and engaging as the three previous books. Michelle Paver's series was written for chi......more

Goodreads review by Emilia on January 27, 2022

Jagad av Klanerna är fjärde boken i serien Vargbröder. Efter den förra boken, Demonernas Port, var jag lite besviken. Jag hade hoppats på mer i den, men oj vad Jagad av Klanerna tog igen allt de jag saknade tidigare. Handlingen innehåller minst sagt ett spännande äventyr. När Torak blev fredlös hade......more
