Gennie Valente's father forces her to recite and understand the legend of the Chosen and Abandoned Ones at a very young age, not giving her the love or attention most children receive from their parents. For Gennie's graduation gift, he gives her a trip to Russia to study the Lynx, a personal dream of hers. However, her excitement dies when the reason behind the gift is to payback the college loans and to locate and convince a Chosen One, John Powell, to return from his self-induced reclusive life to finish a contract using his powers to save the world from evil. Disappointed, Gennie understands her mission, but she has no intention of missing out on the wild life opportunity while looking for a man who doesn't want to be found.

After John Powell witness's his wife's betrayal and death, he takes off to Russia to run from civilization and his powers as a Chosen One. John refuses to use his powers, except to occasionally burn off energy with a few women of his choice. The group looking for John will never give up until he fulfills his contract of seven years, but with the danger of his powers and the danger he poses to others, John has no choice but to stay away from all action. Gennie Valente showing up in Russia to find and observe a family of Lynx cats in the area changes everything. John is instantly drawn to her, not by her outside beauty, but the beauty that shines within her. Another betrayal threatens his solitude and forces him into the life he wants and needs to deny.

CHAINS OF ICE is a continuation of a unique series about men and women with unique powers to fight evil. An extremely exceptional read!
