Return of the Ice Dragon (Dragon Knights, Book 19) By Bianca D'Arc

Embarking on a quest to uncover the truth behind an orphaned baby ice dragon, Joleyn finds herself questioning her own worth. As a farm-raised spinster with no notable accomplishments, her friendship with the ice dragon Lady Esselyn seems her sole qualification for the mission.

Guard Captain Jimnel eagerly anticipates his journey to Draconia alongside Joleyn and the Dragon Knights. Amidst their travels, Jimnel finds himself drawn to Joleyn, finally allowing their mutual attraction to flourish. Their budding romance unfolds amidst the uncertainty of their mission.

Their fate intertwines with that of Tor, the baby ice dragon adopted by Draconia's royals. Tor's decision regarding his allegiance to either his adoptive family or his kind could spark a catastrophic conflict between dragons. Caught between loyalty and love, Tor faces an agonizing choice with far-reaching consequences.

The outcome of Tor's decision hangs precariously in the balance, threatening to reshape the lands and ignite a war unlike any seen before. As alliances are tested and loyalties strained, Joleyn, Jimnel, and their dragon companions must navigate the complexities of love, duty, and sacrifice to secure peace for their world.
