Menotah

“There will be full moon to-night, and a south wind. Then the evil one will steal from the marshes. For there will be war and fire.” The warning comes from an unseen voice—and a hunter in the Saskatchewan forest cannot look away.

Beneath the firs of the Great Saskatchewan, evening settles over a wilderness where paths disappear and every sound carries. Young English hunter Winton has just discovered that a wounded deer can leave a man helpless with a terror called “the fever”; beyond the trees, rumors of Louis Riel’s uprising darken the air. Menotah’s bright, unshadowed joy stands against the gathering violence, as old ways and new settlers are drawn toward collision. The forest is beautiful, but its warning may be more than a hunter’s superstition. What will the coming war demand of Menotah—and of Winton?
