Creature Feature: Ice Dragons

 Ice Dragons

 They come from the farthest reaches of the frozen North and are wild creatures seldom seen by men. Their scales are so shiny, they look like mirrors, refracting and reflecting all the colors of the visible spectrum, making them unseen hunters in the ice fields they inhabit.

At home on ice, their claws are stronger and longer than most dragons and they are huge in comparison to their colorful lowland brethren. Living wild, most Ice Dragons do not have large families or strong family units. Ice Dragon mothers care for their dragonets for just a few years, until they’re big enough and strong enough to make their way on their own. Ice Dragon fathers seldom stick around. Food is too scarce and too spread out over the frozen North for more than one or two dragons to live together for any length of time.

They are the most independent of the dragon breeds and perhaps, the lonliest, yet they are sworn, like all other dragons, to the protection of their world. They guard the Citadel, hidden in the ice at the top of the world, and the hereditary Guardian. They will answer the Guardian’s call if ever the Citadel is threatened, but otherwise live separate, wild and free.

  2. Hi Channon, I’ve been at the RT Conference for the past week, so I just saw your comment. Sorry for the delay in responding and thanks so much for your very kind words. The next dragon book will probably be out some time this Fall. I’m actually about halfway through writing it right now. It’s a dimension-travel sort of story, with two of the dragon princes being transported to our world for a short time to find a magical artifact and, of course, their mate. She’ll go back to their world with them – that’s the point I’m at in writing the story right now. So it’s a little different. But I don’t like writing the same thing all the time, so this’ll mix it up a bit. I hope you’ll enjoy it when it comes out later this year! Thanks again for your comment and I’m really glad you’re enjoying my work!!! :)
