Secrets of stone

A Wolf in The Sun follows the story of a young wolf known as Silversong. He, along with all his other packmates, live under the Wolven Code--a hierarchical system with a strict code of conduct. Anyone who breaks the Wolven Code is banished to the Furtherlands, a corrupted place where exiles are led by an enigmatic wolf known as the Heretic. Silversong's aspirations to prove himself to his pack are cut short by the escape of the Heretic, who massacres Silversong's pack in his quest to find an ancient relic that will grant him the powers of time itself. With it, he will break the Wolven Code and install himself as the new ruler of the Four Territories. Silversong is determined to stop the Heretic at any cost, and so he pursues him across the land and into an ancient underground ruin bearing the secrets of the long-extinct Forgotten Ones (the humans). In the end, Silversong steals the ancient relic for himself before the Heretic can claim it, and as he escapes the underground ruin, he is determined to use the relic for good and forge a better future for all wolves.
