"The Dragon Waiting: A Masque of History" is a fantasy novel by John M. Ford, published in 1983. It won the 1984 World Fantasy Award.

The novel is a fantasy alternate history combining vampires, the Medicis, and the convoluted English politics surrounding Edward IV and Richard III. The book also fictionalizes the fate of the Princes in the Tower.

In 1995 Ford reported its sales as "40,000 copies in print (six thousand in hardcover) in English, about 10K more in the foreign editions". [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.frp.misc/msg/d8ec11102cc6ee6c]
