"The best mingling of history with historical magic that I have ever
seen." (Gene Wolfe)
In a snowbound inn high in the Alps, four people meet who will alter
fate.
A noble Byzantine mercenary....
A female Florentine physician....
An ageless Welsh wizard....
And Sforza, the uncanny duke.
Together they will wage an intrigue-filled campaign against the might of
Byzantium to secure the English throne for Richard, Duke of Gloucester -
and make him Richard III. Available for the first time in nearly two
decades, with a new introduction by New York Times best-selling author
Scott Lynch, The Dragon Waiting is a masterpiece of blood and magic.
"Had [John M. Ford] taken The Dragon Waiting and written a
sequence of five books based in that world, with that power, he would've
been George R.R. Martin." (Neil Gaiman)
