Whistler has always been a tough, old farmer from Nebraska, ready to take on anything. Life in the nineteenth century, however, is anything but easy, and in his later years he finds himself isolated, lonesome, separated from his wife, and wondering if things will ever get better. But when he accidentally summons an angel to his side, things only get worse. For with the light comes the dark, and when demons drive him from his land, Whistler finds himself on a quest to find new purpose and meaning in his life. During his journey with the angel, Whistler meets legends from American folklore, and learns that he has something in common with them: they’re all Heroes, bristling with elemental magic. Now, with new allies and power swirling around him, Whistler must defeat demons, both within and without, before they destroy him and the land he loves.
