The Wintermaker - The Dream Catcher Chronicles

Thanks to the tutelage of his Ojibwe great-grandmother, sixteen-year-old Levi MacPherson learns he will have a key role in the fulfillment of the Seven Fires Prophecies. Before he can fulfill his destiny, he must first understand the past. If he is to prevent death from claiming his loved ones in Hiawatha County, he must seek guidance from those who survived the terrible blizzards and subsequent flood that ravaged Minnesota in the spring of 1962. Levi turns to Sheriff Forsberg, who was thirteen when a serial killer hunted the shores of Lake Manitou. As sheriff of Hiawatha County, Forsberg knows the story of a rogue killer that preyed upon his friends, but now as a member of the Isanti Club, Forsberg also knows the lore surrounding the lake once known as "The Place of Souls." The souls who die in the waters of Lake Manitou can find no rest, for it is the resting place of the fabled Wintermaker, a dark spirit gathering the dead to him so he might once again walk the earth.To understand his purpose, Levi MacPherson must understand his enemies: the grey creatures who roam the woods, the horned serpent that lives in the depths of the lake, and the Order of Eos, a secret society of fanatics that serve dark powers. To avoid the murder and mayhem experienced in 1962, Levi must learn from the mistakes of his mother and great-grandmother, who along with Forsberg, dared to face the dreaded Wintermaker.
