A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley

Youโ€™ll get notifications while youโ€™re driving that the links donโ€™t work, & you wonโ€™t be able to fix it bc youโ€™re driving.

Iโ€™m so relieved. I was furious to hear from my friend at a book con that the venue was also hosting an ICE job fair. However, a kind soul reached out to tell me that it wasnโ€™t the bad ICE, it was some other totally unrelated group. I mean, who knew there was more than one ICE group in Florida! ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
