Goddess of the Ice Realm

Garric and his friends face more deadly challenges as they work to reunite the kingdoms of the Isles in this fifth entry in the epic fantasy saga.

“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
