The Ice Dragon

An enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice by George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspired HBO's Emmy Award-winning GAME OF THRONES.

Description

Immerse yourself in an enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice with George R.R. Martin's The Ice Dragon. From the acclaimed author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, which inspired HBO's Emmy Award-winning GAME OF THRONES, comes a magical story set in a world where ice and fire clash.

Set in a time of ancient legends, The Ice Dragon describes a chilling creature of myth and fear that no man could ever tame. But for young Adara, who was born during the worst freeze anyone could remember, the ice dragon is not an object of terror but a silent, majestic companion. Adara is a winter child, and the cold that everyone else flees from is her comfort. It is in this frigid world that she encounters the awe-inspiring ice dragon.

The creature had always been a part of her life, seen from a distance as she played in the snow long after the other children had sought warmth inside. At the tender age of four, Adara touches the dragon, forging a mystical connection. By her fifth year, she is riding on its broad, chilly back, feeling a bond that transcends mere friendship.

The tranquil life on Adara’s family farm is shattered when the dreaded fiery dragons from the North descend upon them one calm summer day. These fierce invaders bring chaos and destruction, threatening Adara’s home and everything she loves. In this critical moment, only a winter child like Adara, with her unique bond with the ice dragon, has the power to stand against the fiery onslaught and save her world from utter annihilation.

A timeless narrative brought to life with spectacular illustrations, The Ice Dragon is a spellbinding adventure that captures the imagination and hearts of readers, young and old alike. Its poetic prose and poignant themes of bravery, love, and the eternal clash between fire and ice make it a must-read for fans of fantasy literature.
