A 10th Book?
Mira writes…
Dear Ms Paver,
I hope you are well!
I have hugely enjoyed reading the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness – the series was really a joy to read! I love the impact it had on the reader and it hooked me to read on from the very first book to the very last. This is why when I finished the last page of the last book, Wolfbane, I realised with a heavy heart I could not be with these characters for longer. Nothing can beat the grip of the stories!
Therefore I am beg you (at your earliest convenience) to write another book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness! My wild idea would be to add to it by bringing all the Soul-Eaters back to life to come together to destroy Torak and everything he loves? Then, he could defeat them once again with his companion wolf and Renn!
I would be so grateful for your consideration.
Yours truly,
A big fan,
Mira Sibal
Hello, Mira. I’m delighted that you’ve enjoyed the nine books in the series, and it really does sound as if you’ve been living and breathing th stories! While I sympathise with your very eloquent plea for a tenth book, I’m afraid that I’ve no plans to write one. You see, I just feel that I’ve left the characters in a good place at the end of Wolfbane, and that the shape of the series is complete as it is. So I’m sorry to disappoint you, but there won’t be any more stories to follow about Torak, ~Renn and Wolf. All I can suggest is that a spot of re-reading might help to fill the gap, and take you back to the Forest. Thank you for getting in touch – and may the guardian run with you! With best wishes, Michelle

In this compelling conversation, they’ll discuss the enduring appeal of the Gothic, the influence of myth and landscape, and why stories of ghosts, spirits, and things unseen still resonate in today’s world.
