The piercing chill of an icicle. The torrential blast of a blizzard. The icy winds of a winter storm. These powers and more harness the might and power of Zima, Scourge of the North, Master of Ice, Commander of the Elite Siberian Dragon Legions, High Dragonian General of Russia.

"Zima" (pronunciation - "ZEE-muh") (Cyrillic - "зима") is the Russian word for "Winter". In a novel of mine (albeit one that is not yet written), Zima is the dragon general of Russia who aids Tsar Alexander in defeating the pillaging army of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte of France.

History states that "General Winter" caused more casualties in Napoleon's northern campaign than any offensive by the Russian people. In my novel, General Winter is more than a mere personification of the chilliest season of the year.
