Trilogy comprising 'The Fire Within' and
'Icefire','Fire Star',the final part,
continues the story of student David Rain.
A research trip to the Arctic and a contract for a new book - life can't get much better for David Rain.As soon as David finds himself in icy climes,he starts to write his story of bears,dragons and the mysterious fire star.Soon he realises that his tale is beginning to mirror real-life, and that an old adversary is on her way to meet him.Can David thwart her terrible master plan? Or will his world be destroyed for ever?
Gwilanna,the evil sibyl of Icefire is back - and this time she has grand plans.
She wants to resurrect a real dragon (Gawain) on the icecap of the Tooth of Ragnar.To awaken Gawain,Gwilanna needs three things: Gawain's fire tear (the ice), Grockles' blood and a special alignment of planets which will bring the fire star to shine on the tooth (the fire star was present at the birth of dragonkind).David and his friends find themselves pitted against her,but can they stop her and draw this epic to a final conclusion?
