Silver dragons keep Neisha's people trapped beneath an icy plateau. In her dreams she meets Tane who promises to come and help her. Neisha tries to dissuade him, convinced he will end up trapped with her people.
Tane and his friend travel through cold, freezing weather but as he nears Neisha's home, he has an accident and finds himself at the mercy of the silver dragons. He is rescued by his travelling companion and taken to Neisha's home caverns. Now Neisha's worse fears have come true, he is trapped with her people.
Tane has a secret he has not told Neisha. He hatches a plan to free not only himself, but all of Neisha's people too. To put his plan into action he must go to the surface, but the silver dragons attack when humans are seen on the icy plateau. Will he succeed, or will he remain trapped under the ice.
I've enjoyed all the Dragon Clans books. Adding a new dragon species in this one (is this final or ??) hit the spot and completes dragonology on the alien world where humans crashed and found friends among the locals.
I would have liked to see some more danger with humans and dragons fighting for their existence. It was a little too smooth a transition.
That'd be my only minor complaint. I would like to see more of the Dragons. How about a prequel before all those annoying humans show up on the planet?
I recommend this series and others in Sue Perkins' bibliography.

Ice Dragons! What a great concept.
