CAMAZOTZ: THE FROZEN GATE

By Francisco M. Martinez

Clear Field Chronicles, Book 2

Genre and Literary Identity

CAMAZOTZ: THE FROZEN GATE blends supernatural horror, ancient mythology, dimensional science fiction, crime, tragedy, and the evolution of a guardian who stands between worlds.

The gate is frozen.

Something is waiting on the other side.

Months after surviving the horrors of Xibalba, brothers Marek and Tomas Varga are trying to rebuild an ordinary life in New York. Their butcher shop has reopened. The wounds have not healed, but for the first time, the future feels possible.

Then Detective Michael Quinn brings them a case no police report can explain.

Bodies are being found frozen solid inside locked rooms. Ancient runes are carved into their flesh. Beneath the city, something buried for centuries is beginning to wake.

The investigation leads Marek and Tomas into the hidden depths of the Roost, an impossible underground complex beneath their shop, where a mysterious artificial intelligence named Sophia awakens and reveals a terrifying truth: the killings are not random.

They are coordinates.

Someone is constructing a permanent dimensional gateway between New York and an ancient Norse realm.

To stop it, Marek must once again become Camazotz, the Death Bat, crossing the Clear Field into a world of frozen strongholds, forgotten oaths, ancient guardians, and destructive powers preparing for invasion.

Strength alone will not save either world. Camazotz must earn the trust of warriors who remember what the Death Bat once was, resist the vengeance growing inside him, and learn that guardianship is not domination.

It is alliance. It is sacrifice. And sometimes the greatest victory is choosing whom not to destroy.

As Marek, Tomas, Quinn, and Sophia forge the first true alliance of the Clear Field Chronicles, another presence watches from somewhere beneath the roots of reality. It does not attack. It does not interfere. It simply observes.

By the time the Frozen Gate closes, it knows exactly how they fight.

He is not a myth. He is the gate.
