About This Book
"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster. And if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Summer Lentz dared to look into the abyss of Lake Wanagiyata, and for her audacity, she paid the ultimate price. While Sheriff Brian Forsberg investigates Summer's disappearance, his own family tries to find healing after the death of his estranged sister, Julia. After her mother's death, Becca Thompson simply wanted to fit in after moving from Baltimore to Split Rock, but unbeknownst to Becca, her mother's curse of clairvoyance became amplified upon returning to the shores of Lake Wanagiyata. Unlike Becca, Ansel Nielson, whose own father had also left Lake Wanagiyata rather than confront its truth, is beginning to believe something sinister has existed in the lake for centuries. Will Ansel finally unlock the truth, or will Becca fall victim to the same evil that claimed Summer Lentz? What is the secret that lies behind the Fires? Hundreds of years ago, the mystery of the Seven Fires began when the Anishinaabeg left the shores of Nova Scotia on an odyssey that would eventually lead them to Minnesota. From the failed expeditions of Norse and French explorers to the final Dakota-Ojibwe war of the late 1700s, the truth surrounding Lake Wanagiyata remained shrouded in mystery. Now at the end of the Seventh Fire, the ancient prophecy seeks to reveal its final truth to the modern residents of Split Rock, Minnesota.
