The Last Wilderness
Is this journey's end...or just the beginning?
Toklo, Kallik, Lusa, and Ujurak have finally reached the Last Great Wilderness, the legendary bear paradise they've been searching for. But while his companions think they've come to the end of their long journey, Ujurak feels a deep unrest. Is this truly where they're meant to be?
In the Last Great Wilderness, one by one the bears begin to remember their true natures. Toklo feels the urge to hunt caribou and mark his territory as a brown bear should, and Kallik feels the pull of the ice within her. It's only Lusa, happy just to be in the wild, who fears the day when her friends will leave her to follow their own paths.
As the bears adjust to this new life, disaster strikes. The friends are forced to venture into the world of the flat-faces to save the life of one of their own. Once there, the end of their journey seems farther away than ever, as a new path spreads out before them.

Three bears...one destiny. Three young bears from different species - black, polar, and grizzly - are separated from their families when they are just young cubs. They find themselves brought together on a perilous journey, where fate is about to change their lives forever, setting their paws on a path toward a future they cannot yet imagine...
In this series by the authors of 'The Warriors', nature and the environment are a backdrop to the adventures of these proud, fierce and intelligent bears. Their quest is not just a physical journey across Canada and the Arctic, but a spiritual journey as they track down what 'being wild' really means, and how they can preserve their way of life for generations of bears to come.
But make no mistake, there are torn loyalties, dangerous situations, and intense battles along the way...
