The Ice Dragon is an enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice for
young readers and adults by the wildly popular author of the #1 New
York Times bestselling Song of Ice and Fire series, George R.R. Martin.
Lavish illustrations by acclaimed artist Luis Royo enrich this
captivating and heartwarming story of a young girl and her dragon.
In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire the ice dragon was a creature of
legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead,
it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not
afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that
anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember.
Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It
seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she
played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the
cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode
upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh
year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down
upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter
child--and the ice dragon who loved her--could save her world from utter
destruction.
This illustrated edition of The Ice Dragon is sure to become a
collector's item for fans of HBO's megahit Game of Thrones.
