Born to the shape-shifting dragon king of Ippa, twin brothers Karadur and Tenjiro share an ancestry but not a bloodline. Only Karadur carries dragon blood, destined to one day become a dragon and rule the kingdom. In an act of jealous betrayal, Tenjiro steals the talisman that would allow Karadur to take his true dragon form and flees to a distant, icy realm. Now, years later, Tenjiro has reappeared as the evil sorcerer Ankoku. His frozen stronghold threatens to destroy Dragon Keep, and Karadur must lead his shape-shifting warriors in a journey to defeat his brother and reclaim his destiny. With DRAGON'S WINTER, World Fantasy Award-winning author Elizabeth A. Lynn returns with the kind of richly-drawn characters and intricate worlds her fans--both old and new--will love. "DRAGON'S WINTER is the sort of fantasy we don't see enough of: lyrical and literate, and a treat from the first page to the last." --George R.R. Martin
