Torak and Renn
Sam writes…
Hi Michelle, I have just finished Wolfbane and I’ve really enjoyed The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. My question is if Torak and Renn ever break up. If so, is it because of Torak twisting Renn’s wrist to get the black root from her medicine pouch? Thanks, Sam
Dear Sam, I’m really glad that you’ve enjoyed the Wolf Brother books, right up to the ninth and last one, Wolfbane. As a rule, I don’t answer questions about what happens after the series ends, because I prefer to leave that to the reader’s imagination. However in this one case I’ll make an exception. Renn forgives Torak for twisting her wrist, although if you’ll remember she warns him that she’ll leave him if he ever touches her in anger again. She means it, he knows that she means it, and he never does – so they stay together. Thanks for getting in touch – and may the guardian run with you. Best wishes, Michelle

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.
