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.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Released Oct 16, Tibetan Jade, Book 2 in this series. amazon.com/dp/B076DWVQ7MFor 25-year-old Shawn Sullivan, this was to be the day that he would fulfill his lifelong fixation of becoming the first person to reach, and explore the bottom of a mysterious crevasse known as Cap Nord. Ever since he was a child, this crack in the rocky facade of Signal Hill, has drawn him to the entrance like a magnet. One foggy spring morning, when he was ten years old, his obsession with the crevasse almost killed him. While trying to maneuver along a wet overhang with a flashlight, he slipped and landed on a large rock that was sealing off the rest of the crevasse from the prying eyes of the outside world. As he approached his destiny, a presence from within that had haunted him since he was a child, no longer felt friendly. Even though he hesitated for a moment, he knew that it was too late to turn back now. Shawn recognized that if he was to have any chance of peace in his life, he had to face his demon, be it real or imaginary. What he couldn’t know, was if the price for this choice was worth risking the lives of those he loved, and to those who loved him. Either way, he knew that from this point on, his life was never going to be the same again.
