The snow is falling. The danger is rising. The fate of Splendania hangs by a thread.
Far in the frozen north, a ruthless king listens to the whispers of a dark power. His armies and deceptions march beneath icy banners, and a storm of dark magic gathers over the realm. Prince Galderon heads north, invited by the King of Ovamthia to finally hunt the Ice Dragon. Galderon must wield the legendary sword, Starbolt, and face unimaginable obstacles that could lead to the destruction of his family and country.
Meanwhile, Princess Vanadae hunts the witch who cursed her - but betrayal waits in the shadows, and even the goddess Elianth has her own designs for the princess. When sacrifice becomes inevitable, Vanadae must decide what she’s willing to lose to save the light within Splendania.
A Heart of Ice is the gripping second book in the award-winning Tales of Splendania trilogy, edited by the Bestselling New York Times author Amy Ewing. It is a beautifully illustrated fantasy full of elemental magic, perilous quests, and the unbreakable bonds of family and hope. Perfect for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, The Land of Stories, and How to Train Your Dragon.
