The Dragon Waiting

Set high in a snowbound Alpine inn, four unlikely allies—including a Byzantine mercenary, a female physician, a Welsh wizard, and a duke—join forces to challenge the might of Byzantium and influence the fate of England. Combining elements of blood and magic, the story offers a rich blend of history and fantasy that has been acclaimed for its vivid imagination. This edition features a new introduction by author Scott Lynch and marks the first publication in nearly two decades.
