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.

Wanneer Frodo Baalens sy oom Bilbo se towerring tydens dié se een-en-elftigste verjaarsdagpartytjie erf, is dit die begin van onvoorsiene avonture.

Eers verdwyn Bilbo spoorloos en dan daag die towenaar Ghandalf op met die nuus dat Frodo in lewensgevaar verkeer: wie ook al in besit is van die Ring, vertel Ghandalf, sal uiteindelik deur die korrupterende mag daarvan verwoes word. Daar is net een uitweg: om die Skeure van Verdoemenis in die dieptes van die Vuurberg te vind, die Ring daarin te gooi en dit só vir ewig buite die bereik van die Vyand te plaas.

Saam met sy kamerade Sam, Mannetjies en Pippin val Frodo in die pad met die hoop om die donker mag van Sauron vir altyd te verslaan.

From New York Times best-selling author, Kim Harrison, comes the fourth book in her brilliant Hollows series; packed with the perfect balance of wry humour and thrilling action, which will delight fans of thrillers and fantasy alike. There's no rest for the wicked, even when the taint on your soul isn't your fault. It would be wise for witch and bounty hunter, Rachel Morgan, to keep a low profile right now.

Nevertheless, Rachel must risk exposure. Her ex-boyfriend, Nick, has stolen a priceless Were artefact, and, as tempting as it may be to let the Weres him apart, Rachel feels obliged to attempt a rescue. But other sinister forces also covet the relic Nick has hidden. Some who desire it so badly, they will take the city - and everyone in it - apart to wield its frightening power.
