Goddess of the Ice Realm
About this ebook
" Goddess of the Ice Realm is a solid addition to an outstanding fantasy series, showing once again that Drake is among the most versatile of authors in the SF/Fantasy genres." ―S. M. Stirling
Garric and Sharina, Cashel and Ilna, are young brother and sister pairs whose destiny is to reunite the kingdoms of the Isles into one empire for the first time in a millennium.
As Garric and his retinue reach the island city of Carcosa, his benign wizard Tenoctris perceives a powerful supernatural threat directed against them. Ilna and her beloved, Chalcus, are sent to investigate a magical menace to shipping in the north. Cashel is translated into another world by evil magic, and Sharina to yet another. All of them face deadly dangers and overcome them before they are again united during the terrifying and dramatic climax.
An action-filled and complex plot filled with surprises and startling revelations, romance and sorcery, Goddess of the Ice Realm is first rate fantasy.
"The title character . . . remains so potent . . . that narrative interest and impetus are sustained straight through to the last chapter . . . A series that may be altogether Drake's most accomplished work." ― Booklist

About the author
David Drake (born 1945) sold his first story (a fantasy) at age 20. His undergraduate majors at the University of Iowa were history (with honors) and Latin (BA, 1967). He uses his training in both subjects extensively in his fiction.
David entered Duke Law School in 1967 and graduated five years later (JD, 1972). The delay was caused by his being drafted into the US Army. He served in 1970 as an enlisted interrogator with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the Blackhorse, in Viet Nam and Cambodia. He has used his legal and particularly his military experiences extensively in his fiction also.
David practiced law for eight years; drove a city bus for one year; and has been a full-time freelance writer since 1981, writing such novels as Out of the Waters and Monsters of the Earth. He reads and travels extensively.
