The Battle for the Book of Kreeth was a skirmish between The Band and a collection of dire wolves belonging to the MacDuncan, McFang and MacNamara Clans under the command of Coryn and the combined forces of Nyra's Pure Ones and the remnants of the MacHeath Clan, who had become vyrrwolves. The skirmish was instigated by the Ga'hoolian owls attempt to seize the Book of Kreeth and ended in a defeat for the Pure Ones and the deaths of all vyrrwolves present, though at the cost of Cody's life. It was also one of the events of the early War of the Ember.
