The Crimson and the Frost — William Cole

For untold millennia, the harsh frozen wastelands had been ruled by the immortal King of Winter. His power so absolute, no one dared to challenge his dominance until… ...the Crimson Wizard and his devoted followers took up residence in the heart of his realm, creating a mystical town. In their possession was a strange and powerful artifact that protected them. For centuries they had lived in peace, undisturbed, while the King of Winter waited patiently for his chance at revenge. Now, the Crimson Wizard's potent source of magic is lost and there is nothing to stop the King of Winter and his army of savage grimghouls from launching a full-scale invasion. The fate of the entire world hangs in the balance as the two face-off in an epic clash of magic and legends.
