In the savage, frozen wilderness of the Yukon, a wolf pack runs hungry through the long winter, and from it comes a single gray cub born to a half-wild she-wolf. Fierce and fearless, the cub learns the brutal laws of the wild early, that life is a matter of eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. But beyond the snow and the hunt lies another power he has yet to reckon with: the world of men, with their fires and their mastery over beasts. London's vivid 1906 novel, a mirror to The Call of the Wild, follows a wild-born creature as his life begins to bend toward humankind.
