Publication Information
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.
The Ice Dragon marks the highly anticipated children’s book debut of George R.R. Martin, the award-winning author of the New York Times best-selling series A Song of Ice and Fire.

"Exciting battle scenes and complex psychological back story make this a story for older readers, but the cover art, young heroine, generous typeface and frequent pencil illustrations make this feel like a book for much younger readers. Fantasy readers who want a shorter read might like this offering." - Kirkus.
