The Fire Handler
Born Tewapa Askibikaashi, fifteen-year-old Lily Weber willfully rejects the ways of her Sioux and Chippewa ancestors and models herself after the Christian teachers of the Sacred Heart Indian Mission, but when she returns home for the summer of 1897, she finds her childhood home at Lake Manitou threatened—by corrupt businessmen willing to do anything to claim the land and by darker forces from legend and lore. When a hero arrives in the form of Father Jean Nicholas Guerin, a mysterious Jesuit priest who knows the dark secrets of her family, Lily begins a journey that will challenge her understanding of good and evil, reality and myth, and duty and love. The Fire Handler is a modern fantasy set in the old forest of Minnesota, where Anishinaabe, Oceti Sakowin, Norse, and Christian lore crash together upon the rocky shore of Lake Manitou, where an ancient evil slumbers in the heart of Hiawatha County.
