"A lonely boy wandering the Arctic regions of North America meets a wolf, and the two become fast friends, depending on each other to survive the harsh environment. But the boy has a history, and the wolf is more than meets the eye as well... The Nokkers make a vigorous attack on Renril, but Fushi has found battle-ready allies in Kai, Hairo, and Messar. The sides match each other blow for blow, and exhaustion soon takes its toll on Fushi and the townspeople. Meanwhile, a familiar little girl is resurrected and makes her way to help her cherished Fu."--Provided by publisher.
