His story has serious entertainment value and pulls together satisfyingly by book's end, while laying the groundwork for the sequels.' 'Frost, adult author and Twin Peaks co-creator, makes his YA debut with this densely plotted thriller, first in a trilogy. 'New school and new mental powers meet ancient mysteries and ancient war.'
