Tor Teen is doing a new edition of George R.R. Martin’s novella The Ice Dragon, set in the same world as A Game of Thrones. And legendary artist Luis Royo is providing some illustrations. Which look just incredible.
Check out more of Royo’s illustrations over at Tor.com.
Here’s the official description of The Ice Dragon:
Adara liked the winter best of all, for
when the world grew cold the ice dragon came. 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.
The new edition of The Ice Dragon comes out in October. [Tor.com]
