What happens when you take one wayward dragon, a woman with anger management issues, a man that turns anything he touches into ice and toss them into Rio De Janeiro during Carnival?
A lot really and it all involves fire in ice!
Dr. Martel Da Mar is the leading scientist in glacial hydrology. He also has a problem. He cannot touch people without turning them to ice. Don't ask why, it's a long story. Since he is Gaiian and has a three hundred year lifespan, he knows his will be a long and lonely existence. He has accepted his fate in life and throws all of his energies into his work studying an unknown heat source that has melted a glacial lake leaving a few blocks of ice in the center of the lake. His tests show the glacial melt can't be dismissed as global warning. He soon discovers there is something in one of the remaining blocks of ice that radiates an unusual type of heat signature. This something is an angel of fire. She is trapped and needs his help but releasing her could place the Amazon Rainforest in Jeopardy.
Princess R'ibiezzah wakes from a cold lonely confinement to find life, as she knows it, has irrevocably changed. First of all, she is trapped in a block of ice. Second of all a brooding dragon is literally attached to her hip. Third, the man she's met in her dreams is on the outside and cannot release her. And finally, some damn fool goes and steals the block of ice with her in it. This sort of thing can piss a girl off, especially one who has a dragon on her side.
