Description:

Edward IV sits on the English throne; Lorenzo de Medici's court shines brilliantly in Florence. But this is an alternate world, and European history is not entirely as we know it. Europe is being menaced by the mighty Byzantine Empire, while in Milan the Vampire Duke Sforza marshals his forces for a long-planned attack on Florence, and nothing is quite as it seems. A rich and powerful fantasy full of swordplay, wizardry, vampirism and passion, making The Dragon Waiting a fascinating and innovative fantasy masterpiece.
