[edit] Plot summary
In Spirit Walker, a sickness strikes the clans. Torak journeys to the sea to find a cure, but is captured by two members of the Seal Clan. He narrowly misses Wolf and Renn who follow him. Tenris, the Seal Mage wants to sacrifice Torak, but Torak tells him of the sickness. They work together to find a cure. Renn reaches the island with Wolf, and finds the butchered remains of an orca. She suspects Tenris. On Midsummer's night, two tokoroth, demons in children's bodies, capture Torak and Tenris tries to sacrifice him and eat his heart, because Torak is a spirit walker-he is able to enter other creatures minds. He reveals that he is a Soul Eater and that Torak's father was his brother. Wolf and Renn save Torak and Tenris is killed by the parents of the slaughtered orca. When he returns to the Raven camp, he discovers that his father was the seventh Soul-Eater.
