Starting in Lord of the Isles and continuing in Queen of Demons,
Servant of the Dragon, and Mistress of the Catacombs, David Drake has
told the continuing, interlocking stories of Garric and Sharina, Cashel
and Ilna, young brother and sister pairs who journey together from a
small town to the capital.
Their destiny is to reunite the island kingdoms of the Isles into one
empire for the first time in a millennium. They seek to do this at a
moment in history when the cosmic forces upon which magicians draw are
at a thousand year peak. Wizards of even small learning are immensely
powerful. Human greed and evil are reinforced by supernatural energies
In Goddess of the Ice Realm, as Garric and his retinue reach the
island city of Carcosa, the wizard Tenoctris perceives a powerful,
supernatural assault directed against them. Ilna and her beloved,
Chalcus, are sent to investigate a magical threat to shipping in the
north. Cashel is translated into another world by evil magic, and
Sharina to yet another. All of them face deadly dangers and overcome
them before they are again united during the climax of the story.
Filled with action, startling revelations, romance and sorcery, Goddess
of the Ice Realm is epic fantasy at its exciting best.
