In a world of fire and ice, only a winter child can tame the legendary ice dragon.

The Ice Dragon is an enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice by George R.R. Martin, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. 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. Born during the worst freeze in memory, she was a winter child who formed an unbreakable bond with the ice dragon.

In her seventh year, when fiery dragons from the North threatened her peaceful farm, only Adara and the ice dragon who loved her could save her world from destruction. This illustrated edition of The Ice Dragon is a must-have collector's item for fans of HBO's hit series Game of Thrones.

Praise for this book

“The Ice Dragon brims with the magic and beauty of Martin's velvety rich prose. […] Audiences of all ages will be enchanted by the fantastic delivery of this timeless tale of heroes and dragons, the strength of a family, and the coming-of-age of a very special girl. It is a great book to share.” —VOYA

“[T]his fantasy is a slim but rich introduction to the genre, one that should appeal to both boys and girls.” —School Library Journal

“A must-buy for all Martin fans.” —SFRevu

“Like the type, Royo's lush ink-and-wash illustrations are all set in blue, heightening the icy feel. They sprawl across spreads, complementing the generously leaded text and providing ample resting place for readers' eyes. Despite the war and destruction, this is very much a children's story, told in a distantly folkloric tone that evokes the stylings of Jane Yolen. Adult fans will find neither gore nor sex, but kids will find an evocative original fairy tale with an unexpectedly complex protagonist.” —Kirkus Reviews
