Author Bio Born in 1964, David Clement-Davies grew up in Europe attending Westminster School and Edinburgh University, mainly studying History and English Literature. He dreamed of becoming an actor one day but the passion for writing prevailed. He's written a musical, two adult books, many children's books and is in the process of writing a play. He's also written //Fire Bringer// and //The Alchemists of Barbal.// He now lives in a mountain range in Spain and also in London.

Plot Synopsis Taking place in the mountains of Spain, a pack of wolves lives. Palla, the leader of the pack is pregnant and gives birth to pups, Larka and Fell. They grow up in the pack, learning the ways of wolves: ranking, respect for nature, respect for others, and learning of their ancestors' stories. Once specific story is the most important to the wolves, the story of the Sight. The Sight is a mystical power that enables one to communicate with things that would seem impossible, like looking through the eyes of a bird, or to see visions of the past, present, and future. Morgra, the protagonist of this book, was banished from the pack for killing a pup on accident. She is said to have the Sight.

Still holding a grudge from when she was banished, she places a curse on the pack one night. Some of the pack thinks the curse is real, others think its fake. As the book progresses, humans become involved, Larka and Fell grow up, the pack falls apart, and to whom the powers of the Sight are entitled to, are revealed.

 Criticism The Sight a book different to other ones I have read. It was written by a man from Europe, so it would be written differently. The author's vocabulary is different that the vocab used here. It was sort of refreshing. I always love things told through an animal's eyes, whether it be a video game, movie, or book; I love the experience, and this book gave me that experience and much more than I asked for. This book appeals to all nature lovers, just as I am. It also appeals to lovers of fantasy . I would recommend this book to of these groups, nature lovers and lovers of fantasy, regardless of age.
