According to legend, the Horned Serpent, a primordial symbol for evil, dwells in the watery abyss of Lake Manitou. To fifteen-year-old Lily Weber, who lives along the shores of Lake Manitou, the Horned Serpent is just another symbol for Satan, which the nuns at Sacred Heart Mission explained as Leviathan in the Old Testament and the Red Dragon in the New Testament. To Halvar Dobie, rumors of a Horned Serpent connect to his Norse heritage with Jormungandr, the creature destined to destroy the world with fire. If his forefathers are correct, an ancient quest is nearing the end. To Winnie Weber, Lily's mother, the evil Unktehi is a malicious monster from Lakota legend that brought the great flood and, even in death, is a force to be feared. To Lily's estranged grandfather Nanakonan, the Horned Serpent is mishi-ginebig, a dreaded creature from Anishinaabe lore that sleeps below the waters of his home, Lake Manitou. His hereditary role is to prepare a warrior to defeat this monster, but when his grandson is forcibly taken away to a boarding school, he is forced to teach Lily the secrets of their family. Caught between cultures, Lily confronts not only this sleeping evil but also her own faith and family as she learns what it means to be a FIREHANDLER. THE DREAMCATCHER CHRONICLES is a generational battle between good and evil, where the dark deeds of the past shape the present-and the prophecies of the future reach back to influence the past.

National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan turns his historian's eye to the largest-ever forest fire in America and offers an epic, cautionary tale for our time. On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest rangers had assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fires, but no living person had seen anything like those flames, and neither the rangers nor anyone else knew how to subdue them. Egan recreates the struggles of the overmatched rangers against the implacable fire with unstoppable dramatic force, and the larger story of outsized president Teddy Roosevelt and his chief forester, Gifford Pinchot, that follows is equally resonant. Pioneering the notion of conservation, Roosevelt and Pinchot did nothing less than create the idea of public land as our national treasure, owned by every citizen. Even as TR's national forests were smoldering they were saved: The heroism shown by his rangers turned public opinion permanently in favor of the forests, though it changed the mission of the forest service in ways we can still witness today. This e-book includes a sample chapter of SHORT NIGHTS OF THE SHADOW CATCHER.
