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.
