A Guide to Wizards of the World Much may be learned by the aspiring student of wizardology through the study of others. I have, therefore, gathered together the lore of wizards from the four corners of the Earth - the knowledge of ancient masters, the wisdom of mysterious shamans, the magic of the wisest sages and others besides - so that the true lamp of learning may be kept alight in the hearts of apprentices everywhere. - Merlin AD 1577
From ancient times 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.
