About this Item

Paperback. 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. This item is printed on demand.

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.
