Seventeen-year-old Ruby is a fireblood who must hide her powers of heat and flame from the cruel frostblood ruling class that wants to destroy all that are left of her kind. So when her mother is killed for protecting her and rebel frostbloods demand her help to kill their rampaging king, she agrees. But Ruby's powers are unpredictable, and she's not sure she's willing to let the rebels and an infuriating (yet irresistible) young man called Arcus use her as their weapon.

All she wants is revenge, but before they can take action, Ruby is captured and forced to take part in the king's tournaments that pit fireblood prisoners against frostblood champions. Now she has only one chance to destroy the maniacal ruler who has taken everything from her and from the icy young man she has come to love.

Fast-paced and compelling, Frostblood is the first in a page-turning new young adult three-book series about a world where flame and ice are mortal enemies—but together create a power that could change everything.

I’ve been excited for Frostblood for a while and can’t believe it’s almost here! Less than a week before this new YA fantasy releases!

My pre-order’s in the system so fingers crossed that it arrives on release day. According to THIS QUIZ I’m a fireblood! Though, to be fair, I expected as much (it’s the temper, I think 😉 ).

I love the idea of ice and fire together, stemming from my love of Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” poem. It always stuck with me and I think it’s made me want to read thisbook even more!

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.
