Kingdom of Ice and Bone


Book Description

Lira and Reyker have lost everything. Including each other. Lira of Stone watched her home burn and her clan fall beneath the sword of the warlord known as the Dragon. She believes the man she loves, a warrior who defected from the Dragon’s army, is dead. Alongside her exiled brother and his band of refugees, she will fight the forces that conquered her island. But the greatest danger may come from Lira herself—with the blood of banished gods running through her veins, she’s become a weapon, and no one is safe from the power of her wrath. Reyker Lagorsson thought he was done being a Dragonman. That was before he saw Lira leap from a cliff and vanish into the sea. Determined to honor her memory by protecting her people, Reyker must feign loyalty to the warlord, undermine him at every turn, and seek alliances with renegade soldiers—without succumbing to the battle-madness that threatens to possess him once more. When the Fallen Ones offer Lira a chance to defeat the Dragon, her quest leads her to a place she never expected—Iseneld, the warlord’s homeland. Her journey into the heart of the Frozen Sun will put her on a collision course with Reyker, costing both of them more than they ever imagined, and leaving her with a terrible choice: to save their countries, she must forsake everything she loves.







Their Frozen Graves


Book Description

Two women are dead. They both look like you. The giant stretch of frozen river was melting and the light made the lake glitter like crystals. The women lay side by side on the shore, eyes open and glassy. Their long, dark hair was like tangled rope, their faces a reflection of each other... When two bodies are found dumped in one of the vast lakes in Lakemore, Washington, Detective Mackenzie Price is first on the scene. She identifies one of the victims as Katy Becker, a local known for her work helping the community. The other victim looks strikingly similar. Still grappling with a shocking revelation from her past, Mack is only too happy to throw herself into the case. But when she goes to break the news to Katy's husband, the investigation takes an unexpected turn: Katy is very much alive, and has never met the women who resemble her so closely. Now the race is on to find the killer before Katy becomes the next victim. But when Mack unearths a disturbing connection to a sixteen-year-old suicide, she realizes they could be hunting someone whose crimes span decades - and there are more lives than just Katy's at stake. Addictive, pulse-pounding and packed full of jaw-dropping twists, fans of Lisa Regan, Angela Marsons and Karin Slaughter will love Their Frozen Graves.

Frozen Human Bone


Book Description

A plethora of research has been produced concerning the fate of human bone when it has been exposed to various external stressors. These include taphonomic processes such as natural weathering, decomposition and burning studies. Each study attempts to aid an investigator by trying to determine, for example, what exactly a human skeleton would look like after it had been exposed to an accelerated fire for thirty minutes. The result of this type of research may afford an investigator the opportunity to analyze the evidence at the crime scene and compare it to the research in order to draw educated conclusions about the actual evidence. This is not to imply that all of the questions of investigators have been answered. Rather, each new case brings more questions and more variables that need to be taken into consideration. One such question asks if there is a way to decipher whether a body or body parts have been previously frozen by looking at the skeletal elements. The circumstances that surround this question suggest that the victim would have been frozen for some time and was taken out of the freezing element and was allowed to thaw and decompose to the state of skeletonization. Would it be possible at this point to determine whether or not this body had indeed been frozen? Or, at a more basic level, does freezing damage the histological integrity of bone to prevent osteon aging ability. Few studies incorporate both the variable of low temperatures and human remains. However, two such studies focus on the decomposition of the soft tissue after a freeze thaw event, but none have focused on the bone itself. While there is no evidence that freezing can change the gross morphology, there has been no research concerning whether or not the microscopic structure of the bone would be altered as a result of the freezing process. This research will attempt to determine whether bone that has been previously frozen would be histologically distinguishable by looking for a patterned anomaly, such as patterned cracking. It is possible that the microscopic structure may indicate some changes due to the blood vessels, which run throughout the bone allowing for communication and nutrient flow between bone cells, undergoing the freezing process. Freezing allows for the expansion of fluids (including bodily fluids) and possibly for the forced increase in vessel diameter which may be evident, microscopically, in a section of frozen bone as small fractures in the bone microstructure. In order to determine whether the freezing can be identified within the bone microstructure, it is necessary to freeze several human bone sections. After the sections have been frozen for twenty one days, they are allowed to thaw in accordance with the circumstances surrounding the question. The samples are thin sectioned in order to view their microstructure. This analysis affords the opportunity to look for changes in the ...

Their Frozen Bones


Book Description

Her eyes snap open and she takes in the snow-covered forest around her. She can’t remember how she got here, and a dark figure is running toward her. She doesn’t have time to scream before he’s upon her… When Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy, David Kane, hear reports of a plane crashing into the mountains that surround Black Rock Falls, their hearts shatter. Their friend’s blonde-haired teenage daughter, Julie, was on that flight. They won’t sleep until they bring Julie home to her distraught family. A blizzard closing in, Jenna pushes on with the search until, just beyond the snow-capped trees, she finds the plane. She falls to her knees at the sight of the lifeless bodies, still buckled into their seats. But one passenger is missing: Julie has vanished… Racing into the remote forest, Jenna finds heavy footsteps around the crash site which are too big to be Julie’s. Someone was here before them. Following the prints, Jenna’s pulse races as she finds the bodies of three young women hanging from the tall pine trees, their limbs frozen, their faces lifted to the sky above. When the victims are identified, Jenna notices that each girl had long blonde hair when they went missing, just like Julie. But when they were found in the forest, their hair had been cut, their looks changed forever. Is a twisted killer preying on girls who he can manipulate before their death?
