Fire in the Sky
The spirits dance like fire in the sky...
The three cubs—Kallik, Toklo, and Lusa—along with their shape-shifting companion, Ujurak, stand on the edge of the sea-ice under the blazing Northern Lights. The land has come to an end, but the bears' journey is far from over. Now they must put their trust in Kallik's paws, as she feels the ice pulling her out toward the ocean.
Life on the ice is more difficult than the bears imagined. While Kallik struggles to remember her polar bear roots, Toklo bristles in the unfamiliar territory and Lusa gets weaker by the day; black and brown bears don't belong on the ice. Meanwhile, Ujurak learns firsthand what lurks beneath the whorls and bubbles of the ice, and what he discovers will change everything.
A mystical encounter with a bear spirit leads to more questions than answers, and dramatic revelations about the past risk tearing the foursome apart.

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...
