The adventure that began in The Fire Within continues when David's clay dragon Gadzooks helps him uncover a startling connection between dragons, the Arctic, and a mysterious teardrop of fire. Is it all only a coincidence? Or could deeper forces be at work? As David begins to dig deeper into the past, he finds himself drawn down a path from which there is no going back...to the very heart of the legend of dragons, and the mysterious, ancient secret of the icefire
