The Carson dynasty rules the ski resort town of Mammoth
Lakes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Founded
by patriarch Adam, the town is the site of the Mammoth Cup
ski race-a qualifier for the Olympics. But when Wylie
Welborn, Adam's illegitimate grandson, returns after a stint
in Afghanistan, it reopens a dark moment in Carson family
history: the murder of Wylie's father by his jealous and
very pregnant wife, Cynthia. Her son Sky, born while his
mother was in prison, and Wylie are half-brothers. They
inherit not only superb athletic skills but an enmity that
threatens to play out in a lethal drama on one of the
fastest and most perilous ski slopes in the world.
Three powerful and unusual women have central roles in this
volatile family feud: Cynthia, bent on destroying Wylie; his
mother Kathleen, determined to protect him; and April Holly,
a beautiful celebrity snowboarder, on track to win Olympic
Gold. But, as Wylie falls in love with April and they begin
to imagine a life away from the violence that has shattered
his family, history threatens to repeat itself and destroy
them both.
Combining exquisite writing with breathtaking scenes of high
stakes skiing, CRAZY BLOOD is an unforgettable story of two
brothers on a ruthless quest for supremacy.
