    About this audiobook

    The Ice Dragon is an enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice for listeners of all ages by the wildly popular author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Song of Ice and Fire series, George R.R. Martin.

    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.

      Why I’ve Stopped Waiting for ‘The Winds of Winter’

      This short is very good, but like most of his work it's sad.

      Very good, I was intrigued to see what the main girl would grow up as and accomplish. Wish the book would have went more in-depth that way as it seemed to end sooner than it could have.

      Even in a children book, I can see so much of George R.R. Martin in it. It is fantastical, with element like the South and the North; dragons; Winter and a not-so-happy ending. It is a short fun read, I like the characters and how, even in the children book, there are complicated personalities and a few dark scenes. I'm 18 and went into it afraid that it may be too middle-graded for me, but I don't, I love the story: the plot lines, the myth and the beautiful imagery of winter and ice creatures.
      Love it

      Great! just wish it was longer. Good ideas for future ice dragon material.

      As always, I love what Mr. Martin writes. It will never have the ending you think it will and that's the adventure. Thanks, George.

      In the good tradition of Martin's storytelling. A masterful short story that brings us closer to what we might expect from the distant land of Westeros
