From Tair

Your book series called “Chronicles of Ancient Darkness” – in Hebrew

Ask Michelle Anything
Tair Writes…

Hello Michelle,
My name is Ta’ir, and I’ve read your book series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness.
It’s a wonderful series!
I truly enjoyed reading it (and trembling with fear throughout each book).
Unfortunately, only the first three books have been translated into Hebrew, and the rest haven’t…
I would be so happy if the remaining books were translated into Hebrew as well, so I could complete the series and make sure I have all the books at home.
Wishing you a lovely day,
Ta’ir

Michelle Replies…

Dear Ta’ir, I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed my books!  However I’m pretty sure that only the first three books have been translated into Hebrew.  I don’t know why that was; it’s always the publishers’ decision, not mine.  So if you want to read the rest of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, and perhaps also  the three sequels I wrote a few years later (Viper’s Daughter, Skin Taker and Wolfbane), I’m afraid you’ll need to read them in English.  Of course it’s entirely understandable if you’d have preferred to read them in Hebrew, and complete the set you have at home; but judging by your message, your English is certainly up to it.  Sorry I can’t be of more help.  I hope that whatever you decide, you continue to enjoy your forays into the Forest with Torak, Renn and Wolf.  With very best wishes, Michelle

An experience like no other. From a writer like no other...

Successfully published as an adult author, the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (“Wolf Brother”) were her first books for younger readers, followed by her brilliant 5-part series set in the bronze age, Gods and Warriors. On the adult side, her first ghost story, Dark Matter, was a UK bestseller and won massive praise from reviewers and readers alike, as did her second ghost story, Thin Air.
