Written by George R. R. Martin. Art and cover by Luis Royo.

A tale of courage and sacrifice set in the world of the bestselling series A Song of Ice and Fire, basis for HBO's megahit Game of Thrones.

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 could remember. She could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life. In her fourth year she touched it, in her fifth year she rode upon its broad 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.

Written by H. P. Lovecraft. Art by Gary Gianni.

Written in 1928, H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu defined the ancient gods as dark creatures who came from the stars and ruled the world before mankind. When these ancient ones awaken, humanity is plagued by a nightmare of terrors etched upon an epic backdrop. Artist Gary Gianni and designer Marcelo Anciano both felt that Lovecraft's short story presented an opportunity to visually expand the Cthulhu mythos and push the boundaries of illustrated books. This book is a fusion of the graphic novel, the illustrated book and cinematic design. Over a hundred drawings enhance and bring to life the work of two visionaries - Lovecraft and Gianni - in an extraordinary feat of storytelling and art.

As he does so, he hears of a job that was newly excavated alongside an ancient ruin in Altar's Quartierlatin County, an area bordering the Dryfe Imperium. Ray already meets the conditions for the job, and it suits him well, and he wastes no time going out to make the switch. But of course things are never quite so simple... Along the way, he encounters Azurite, a mysterious masked swordswoman. There was simply no way Ray could've known the far-reaching political implications of his venture to the ruins!

The battles around the ruins are intensifying. Two agents from Dryfe enter the stage, and the superweapon built to be the hope of ancient humanity is on the verge of awakening. The threats to the kingdom force the masked princess to reveal her power, while the demon lying dormant within Ray's bracers waits for her time to show herself. The Quartierlatin County is in grave danger, and it's up to Ray and his allies to stand and protect it.
