He must defy demons and tokoroths, and find his way through the Gorge of the Hidden People. Wolf must overcome terrible grief. Renn must make an agonizing decision. And in the final battle against the Soul-Eater, Torak must face the most heart-rending choice of all.

Review
Ghost Hunter is the 6th and final book in the 6 book arc by Michelle Paver of The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, set around 6ooo years ago. She has given us a roller coaster of a ride with our trio, Torak, Renn and Wolf as they fight to overcome the evil of Eostra the wicked Mage.
I just loved this book and the writings of Michelle Paver; she has a way with words that are exciting and unusual, that make you want to turn the page over as fast as you can to find out what happens - will Torak live even as it has been prophesized that he will die - no matter what.
Along the way we meet Dark who is to help them - he is a very unusual character both in looks and what he can do. I found that I wanted the story to carry on and not stop I had enjoyed it all so much.
Over the 6 books you could tell that Michell had done a phenomenal amount of research which she has used extremely well in describing daily life of that period and how Torak and Renn along with Kin-Fedinn would act. We hear Wolf's voice as well with the shattering events that are to overwhelm him.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable roller coaster of a read that will have you shedding tears and breathing sighs of relief, right up until the very end because nothing is as it seems! A book I more that highly recommend for both adults and children of what ever age you are.
