Description
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 new edition of The Ice Dragon is sure to become a collector's item for fans of HBO's megahit Game of Thrones.

Reviews
Short story
2By DrubuI am quite pleased with the story but it should not have been published as a book. I feel cheated. I suppose it’s my own fault for not paying attention. But this is not a $10 story. The content is 5-star but this is not a full length feature that could justify the cost.Expensive short story
1By ArcayonA short story at best that costs $10? George should focus on the writing that establishes his legacy instead of money grubbing.A story of a winter child and an ice dragon.
5By AngelicWolf 🐺This story was amazing. Even though it only took me an hour or two to read it whole, it was worth the money.Super Short Story
2By Nicky B 26Love GRRM but $10 for this compared to GOT is crazy. Great little short story and i hope it is ASOIAF relavant later on but just too short for $10.Different illustrations
1By DalenPendragonThere are two copies of “The Ice Dragon” - this one does not have the same illustrations as the other.
