Doctor Connor is the hero of the Fire & Ice Series: Awakening, Survival, Earth Walker, Heart of Stone, and Invasion. But all nightmares begin somewhere, and for him, it began in 1910, London - when the city was a mad melting pot of trolley buses, cars, and bicycles, but a few gentlemen hung on to carriages as their preferred mode of transport.
London, 1910: Bram Stoker's Dracula had made barely a ripple in the pool of human consciousness, and it would be another 12 years before Nosferatu breathes life into a vampire on the big screen.
Doctor Connor Sanderson wakes up feeling... unusual. And everything he knows about the world spirals out of control.
Only three scenarios wade through his petrified brain; he is descending into the vortex of insanity, he is dying, or something so terrifying is crawling through his body, that he wishes he was dying.
As Connor battles with the demons rising inside, a series of gruesome deaths in London lead the police to his door. The holes in the fabric of his memory torment him as Connor fears he has become a monster.
He cannot even confide in his best friend, Reginald Cranham, son to Lord and Lady Cranham - how do tell someone you can hear their heartbeat and the blood cells rushing through their veins are a symphony of delight?
A mysterious bony figure, with eyes like pools of ice, hovers on the edges of his consciousness, and seems to hold the answers Connor is looking for.
But can Connor trust him, when he can't even trust himself?
