Amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Northern California, the dormant volcano of Mt. Shasta looms, its snow-capped peak a silent witness to the ancient supernatural feud that now escalates to a dramatic climax. The quaint town of Redding, California, becomes the unexpected battleground for the epic confrontation between the two rival ancient societies.

In the near future where ancient enemies sit on the brink of war, seventeen-year-old Michael Saxon carries a powerful secret inside his DNA that both sides will do anything to acquire.

When he was just seven years old, Michael's parents, scientists at a private military contractor called Enbright, vanished without a trace and left Michael a small crystal. Haunted by nightmares, Michael is desperate to discover the truth about his parents and is convinced the crystal holds the key.

Following high school, Michael accepts an internship at Enbright, despite his reservations, and puts his spelunking skills to work, helping locate powerful artifacts. Before long, Michael and his young independent and mysterious coworker, Emma, discover two rival ancient societies will stop at nothing to acquire the artifacts for themselves.

As romance blossoms between Michael and Emma, they soon find themselves embroiled in a rousing global adventure full of narrow escapes, traitorous villains, and shocking realities. They must navigate the lies and deceit that lurk around every corner if Michael is to discover the secret of his identity and prevent a world war. But is he ready for the responsibility that comes with knowing the truth?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This was a first-reads win. I liked the book, it was different from that I normally read. I like that it kept my attention, and I was trying to figure it out. Also, it showed that we don't have to believe the same things, or agree, but we can still be friends. It would be a very boring place if everyone was the same. It showed that believing in something different didn't make you good or bad, right or wrong." -Sandra, goodreads

From the Author

The idea of the book Frosted Blood came after a trip to Europe. While visiting Romania, I had the opportunity to see the Bran Castle, Peles Castle and the Black Church amongst other amazing sites rich in history and historical artifacts. I spent long hours researching to feed my obsession with this amazing time in history. The result is a book with a heavy blend of historical facts and action-packed imaginative fiction.

Larry Pellitteri grew up writing and illustrating his own short stories, and created his novel, Frosted Blood, for his two boys who inspire him on a daily basis. He currently resides in northern California with his wife and sons and enjoys hiking, biking, and simply being in the great outdoors. The idea of the book Frosted Blood came after a trip to Europe. While visiting Romania I had the opportunity to see the Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle), the Peles Castle and the Black Church amongst other amazing sites rich in history and historical artifacts. That is when I became fascinated with Dracula aka Vlad the Dracul, the Draculesti and the Danesti and decided to find out who they really were. I spent long hours researching to feed my obsession with this amazing time in history. The result is a book with a heavy blend of historical facts and action-packed imaginative fiction.

One fun thing I like is how this story weaves together ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

It is so refreshing to read a work which is well thought-out and avoids getting over detailed in it's descriptions of motives, actions & places. The overall plot is well done with high tech weaponry, and all sorts of interesting events taking place. We get a sense of movement and, when things get complicated, the pace picks up to end with a shattering climax. One fun thing I like is how this story weaves together various elements of folklore (think Mount Shasta, Atlantis, Mayans, Vlad) and superstition in new and interesting ways. The book moves along nicely. The character of Michael grows and develops over the course of the book. He's not static, and his relationship with Emma and the establishment of Jeremy as the potential spoiler of that relationship is very entertaining and creates good tension. I look forward to reading sequels to this work.

Very convoluted

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2016

This is a fantasy novel suitable for YA and up.

Michael finds himself an orphan at an early age; his parents taken inexplicably from him. Having been given a crystal from them just before they left, with the explanation that all will be revealed, he spends his school years learning about crystals and extracting them from caves. Fresh from school he is offered an internship at Enbright - the same place his parents used to work. Considering his experience and expertise it seems strange that he would have been picked for the position. As the days go by and the job entails nothing more than staring at a screen, he hopes to meet someone to make life more interesting. Enter a new co-worker named Emma and the sparks start to fly. But with Emma comes a whole new adventure involving secrets, traitors, vampires, Urashi, Atlanteans and possibly a world war. They are just kids! How on earth will they solve this?

The story hinted of great things to come and then the pace slowed down immensely. Later on it picked up quickly again, but by then the story and timeline had gone into so many different tangents that it became convoluted. It was as though the author had a whole lot of different ideas, all of equal merit that he decided would work, so lumped them together in one book. I didn't feel much depth to the main characters: Michael had his hero moments and then would be too scared to do something in case his heart was hurt, Emma seemed a bit flighty when it came to romance and they both seemed to grasp technology and the ability to use vehicles and machinery too quickly. For the part that Christopher played I don't think he was explained enough to the reader, and West and Father John went from good to bad to good to bad. The language used was a bit strange - some very "large" words that are certainly not in everyday use and quite a few grammatical and punctuation mistakes. The story was definitely aimed more at YA - a bit fluffy for adults. Overall a good idea for a story, but too much packed into it caused not enough substance.

Felt like I was reading a very long short story

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2016

Felt like I was reading a very long short story. I had way more questions with few answers. Difficulty reading all the way through. Had the potential to be a really good book though. Many details were "missing" and the character development was a bit confusing.

Fast Paced, Futuristic?

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book. It got my attention from the start and there was always something going on. The cyborgs were interesting as I have been reading about transhumanism and scientist's work to put DNA into animals, and make robots as human as possible. The plot flows really well from one subject to the next and you can see everything connect. "Father Radu" comes across to me as a Jesuit and I will let other readers decide why. Some of the ideas in the book could very well happen in the future and a few are closure to reality than I think the majority of the populace realize. All in all a very interesting book and the way the book ends, I will be waiting for a sequel. Anyone interested in science fiction should like this book.

This book would make a great movie! It draws you in, the characters are intriguing, and the pace is non-stop. The combination of familiar locations, high tech gadgets, folklore, and even a little romance, make this a book you can't put down. There are a few unanswered questions, though.... possibly a sequel???
