I found several copies from Avon Books on a couple used book sites. I knew I needed the 1985 Avon Books paperback edition, not the 1983 Timescape Books hardcover or the 2002 Gollancz reprint. (That World Fantasy Award, by the way? It was for The Dragon Waiting.) I have got to find this book, but it needs to have that cover.Īmazon is garbage for finding a particular edition. Vampires and the Wars of the Roses and Robert fricking Jordan loves the author? I am so in. They do not have any copies of The Dragon Waiting. So I swing by my local used bookshop on the way home. Vampires and the Wars of the Roses? You had better believe that I’m in. I’ve been on a bit of a vampire kick lately-watching the Blade trilogy and finishing the last two seasons of True Blood. In a world ruled by sorcery, war, treachery, and passion, they have joined forced against the serpentine evil rising to vanquish a young Plantagenet prince-who now has been marked for a glorious new destiny as England’s King Richard III. In a snowbound inn high in the Alps, four people have met who will alter fate: a noble Byzantine mercenary a beautiful Florentine woman physician an ageless Welsh wizard and a German vampire. It all started when I read this Black Gate article. (Can’t-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Wishful Thinking.) So The Dragon Waiting isn’t a book yet to be released. Here I am, flouting social convention and breaking the rules once again.
