Snowfall never planned to rule the IceWings so young, but she has clear ideas about leadership. She will keep her tribe safe inside their frozen territory while keeping all outsiders beyond their borders. Her strategy relies on ancient IceWing magic and absolute isolation. Then unknown dragons arrive during a fierce storm, desperate for sanctuary. Snowfall finds these refugees completely alien and suspects their motives. She decides to escort them away from her kingdom personally. During this journey, Snowfall discovers that her simple plan may be impossible.
