Story
It is early spring, a turbulent, perilous time of sudden storms, frozen river fractures and drifting ice. Fleeing from a demon intent on devouring his souls, Wolf is swept out to sea far from the forest and his pack. The ocean, too, teems with danger: sea wolves, sharks and hunters of the deep, and the demon is gaining ground. Torak and Renn must race to save their pack-brother, battling the harsh icy waves and merciless torrents. If they can't find Wolf in time, the bond between them will be severed forever....

There they must face an enemy more evil than any they've encountered.

And with her bow she shoots back
Catastrophe of astronomical proportions brings despair and opportunists. In the end, a rainbow shot by our new heroine. Increasingly, the peoples of this land are engaging in rationality that questions and redefines myth. Could this series be moving in some direction? I really enjoyed this proto-post-apocalyptic tale. And the humor of eating demon turds.
