An enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice by George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspired HBO's Emmy Award-winning GAME OF THRONES.From ancient times the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. 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 had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the 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.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."Ледяной дракон" - очаровательная история о мужестве и самопожертвовании Джорджа Р.Р. Мартина.С древних времен Ледяной дракон был существом из легенд и внушал страх, потому что ни один человек никогда не приручал его. Но Адара не испугалась. Ибо Адара была зимним ребенком, родившимся во время самых сильных морозов, какие только мог припомнить кто-либо, даже Старики.Ледяной дракон всегда был в ее жизни, его можно было увидеть издалека, когда она играла в снегу еще долго после того, как другие дети сбежали от холода. На четвертом году жизни она прикоснулась к нему, а на пятом - прокатилась верхом на его широкой, холодной спине.Затем, на седьмом году ее жизни, тихим летним днем огненные драконы с Севера обрушились на мирную ферму, которая была домом Адары. И только дитя зимы – и ледяной дракон, который любил ее, – могли спасти ее мир от полного разрушения.Книга на английском языке.
