I'm a Fire Lookout. The Rules for Visitors Were More Terrifying Than the Forest

For thirty years, the staff at Ridgeback Towuer followed the same rule without question: After midnight, never open the hatch. Because something climbs the sixty-foot ladder every night asking to be let inside. Fire lookout Colton Vásquez spends four seasuons stationepd atop an isolated Idaho ridge where strange nighttime visitors circle the tower after midnight. At first, the phenomenon follows a predictable ritual: footsteps on the catwalk, knocking at the hatch, silence before dawn. But when a new partner finally answers the voice outside, Colton discovers the thing beneath Ridgeback Tower may not be a creature at all — but an ancient intelligence buried deep within the granite itself, slowly learning how humans speak.
