Publisher's Synopsis
Lena Rourke was 26 when she climbed her first fire tower-50 feet of steel south of Kapuskasing, a rookie watcher with a chipped Niagara Falls shot glass and her father's old scanner. Nine years later, at Tower 17, 100 kilometers deep in Ontario's wild, she's hardened-spotting fires, facing bears, mourning lost planes. But in 2025, a voice breaks through: "Lena... come..."-her dead father's slur, twisting into a growl on 146 MHz. What starts as a lure becomes a nightmare-claws on steel, a Wendigo born from trapper's lore, tearing her world apart. Journal in hand, fire her shield, Lena fights as the bush claims her tower and her blood. A tale of solitude, survival, and the hunger that waits in the dark.
