Product Description
From the beginning of time, it seemed that rivalry between man and wolf was at the root of man’s dislike for the animal, discovered only too well by Sealgair. Was his fate forever to be condemned to isolation, to see terror and hate in the eyes of the ones he once loved? All he could see in his mind was the last picture of Awena’s beloved face, which he carried in his heart for all his life.
Was the only way out to discover the special secret held by the papyrus-pearl in the stone pot - what secrets could this hold? And which stone pot could keep that precious secret when there were so many of them?
Seanns’ quest to find the pearls and uncover the secret ended with tragic consequences, resulting in him not only discovering the truth of his birth and who his real mother and father were, but the realisation that his father lived among the wolves.
My thoughts
It is interesting to learn that when Sylvia Weber wrote “The Wolves Keep Legend’ she was only twelve, but only recently translated it from Portuguese to English and had it published. This fantasy novel comes with its own vocabulary of places and characters. It is a world of dreams, hopes, love, promises and truth. Since written as a child, you may think that it is a children’s book, but in reality the underlining message is that we are all searching for love and an ideal world.

Thank you so much, Dan. That's a beautiful review. Recently, when I translated the book, I thought; "Though it was written to children, I think it will be the old people who will like it the most". My first readers, and the first ones who gave me an encouraging feedback (except for my son) were elderly. It's true, after all, all our actions and efforts resume into one goal - Love, being loved, and share the ideal world. I hope we all reach it!
