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.

Icarus and Velvet is a YA Fantasy written by award winning novelist
Kate Wiseman. 'We increased the bounty on angels today,' my father
said. He was shielding his eyes as he squinted up through the
ground window at the red, dying sun. 'Five thousand pecs for a
healthy woman or child...' Humanity has splintered. Over millennia,
the Avians of the Clifflands have learned to fly with wings of sky
metal. The Subterraneans venture to the surface only to farm in
vast glass domes. Between them lies the boundless and savage
Wilderness. Suspicion and hostility between their cities shadow
every aspect of life in this post-apocalyptic world. Icarus is a
Seraphim, rare and destined for greatness. When he is sent on a
deadly mission to far-off Subterranean Newtopia, his people's hopes
weigh on him as heavily as the wings on his back, or the bounty he
must capture. Velvet is an outcast, shunned throughout Newtopia and
protected only by her domineering father's influence. Unwilling to
bend to the patriarchal tyranny of the Elders, she dreams of
freedom. Meanwhile, shadowy forces are plotting to overturn the
long-simmering stalemate, unleashing conflict that will usher in a
new and even darker world order. Threatened with a war that will
end their people forever, Icarus and Velvet must struggle to
survive. Flung together by fate, they must forge an alliance - or
die. -- Kate Wiseman
