Coming Storm: Book One of The Immortal Guardian Trilogy (Volume 1)

Eben Wentworth journeys into the Interior of Alaska hoping to make a name for himself within The Thayne Group by proving the hot springs of Alaska can be harnessed and used for manufacturing power. He had no idea studying the geothermal patterns of the area would gain the interest of the reclusive Riley family. Nor was he prepared to face the bitter cold after a landslide leaves his family stranded in the unforgiving weather. With no hope of rescue, Eben sets out for help. Despite his best effort the weather proves to be stronger than his body. Near death, his mind raced with thoughts of what his failure would mean for his stranded family, until she appeared. The locals call her the Lady of Ice, their guardian angel. Eben had scoffed at their local legend, but semiconscious glimpses of her were undeniable. Time had no meaning only the warmth mattered. The warmth of her inching inward defrosting his frozen core. Then she was gone. Reunited with his family broken images haunted his mind; warm water gently lapping against his chest, soft singing bringing comfort, blue eyes smiling down at him. A deep ache in his chest replacing the bitter pain the cold had inflicted on his body, an ache from the loss of her and something more; the understanding that she is not quite human. Heedless of her warnings Eben clings to his love stubbornly vowing to make her admit the depths of their love, unwittingly fulfilling an age-old prophecy. A prophecy that would shake a realm hidden from modern man, a realm he knew nothing about, a realm of powerful beings, the realm of Hosts.
