Yet, readers of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' will pick up many parallels and precursors to things in the series. At the core of this story is a conflict between ice and fire. Other similar elements include the importance of winter, dragons and dragon riders, kingdoms and their wars, several familiar location names, snow castles, Adara's resemblence to the Others, and of course, the ice dragon itself, which is a legendary mythological creature and a constellation in the world of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''.\\
\\
The story is written from the perspective of Adara, a young girl who was born during the coldest winter in living memory. It is said that the cold entered her mother's womb during childbirth, killing Adara's mother, but transforming Adara into a strange, wintery child. Her skin is cold to the touch, and has a cold personality as well, rarely smiling and never crying, nor feeling pain. She has a strong affinity for the cold, and she enjoys staying outside in the winter to build snow castles and play with tiny ice lizards, which only she can touch without harming.\\
