The Waking Frost

Deep inside an Alaskan ice cave, three explorers - Ethan Blackwell, Mara Whitlock, and Daniel Cross - uncover a man frozen solid in the rock. The moment they touch him, his eyes open. He speaks only one warning: something ancient is stirring beneath the mountain, and their discovery has already set it free.

Connor Hayes CH writes atmospheric thrillers where ordinary people collide with something ancient and unexplained. Drawn to isolated landscapes, frozen wilderness, and the fear of what waits beneath the surface, Hayes blends paranormal horror with pulse-pounding suspense. When not writing, he's chasing cold-weather stories and legends that never made it into the history books. The Waking Frost is his latest exploration of survival, sacrifice, and the things we wake without meaning to.
