As he travels through the new world evolving around him, he encounters many challenges, and becomes faced with the ultimate choice; return to the pack and rival his greatest enemy to save his pack, or continue running from his fears. Will he make it back home in time to save the ones he loves from a great evil, or will he leave them to face this threat themselves and carry on the life of a lone wolf? Come join the world of a wild wolf and discover a wilderness of both wonder and woe, as Minty embarks on a quest throughout the dark and mysterious forest, meeting new and dangerous challenges around every twist and turn.
