Frostbite

Nicholas Frost hasn't thought of anything of himself other than a weirdo. Living with just his depressed mother, and helping her to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table, he can't help but wonder why his father left him.
It's only on his sixteenth birthday when he gets an answer to why he's different from everyone else.
Nicholas thinks it's an easy choice, protecting his mother from harm. But as it turns out, controlling a century-old power is harder then it seemed.
Will Nicholas be able to control his family's secret, or will it get out of hand and destroy the whole city?
