George R.R. Martin's forthcoming Westerosi children's book, The Ice Dragon, has a new fully illustrated cover and synopsis.
While George R.R. Martin is still (seemingly forever) in the midst of writing The Winds of Winter, the busy author and creator of “A Song of Ice and Fire,” aka the basis of Game of Thrones, continues to produce plenty of other supplemental Westerosi content.

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.
