"Even better than the author's first book... this romantic fantasy leaves no doubt that here is that rare gem: a new writer with a serious and already-polished talent. Resnick builds her tale on a solid foundation of consistent mythology and magic, well-rounded characters, and a collection of completely believable cultures... A suspenseful mix of vague prophecies, startling revelations, constantly shifting loyalties, and the occasional divine intervention, this stunning novel tantalizes right up to the last cliffhanger page."

Publisher's Weekly
"Vivid descriptions, three-dimensional characters, and a story filled with echoes of a distant past make this a stand-out addition to a fantasy series that belongs in most libraries. Highly recommended."

Library Journal
"We are drawn ever deeper into her complex and interesting created world... There's violence and humor and mystery and surprises and plenty of action..."
—
SF Chronicle
"Resnick has complete control of her craft. Not a word is wasted. Still, it's not a light read. The characters are complicated and real. There are plenty of twists and surprises, and the pace quickens as you go. Resnick's world is dangerous and exciting, yet it has a history and many hidden facets."
—
Cincinnati Enquirer
"Atmospheric world-building, dry humor, and appealing characters make
The White Dragon
an epic fantasy not to be missed. New readers should check out the earlier book in the series,
In Legend Born
, for backstory, but this novel stands on its own as an enthralling fantasy adventure."

Foreword to the E-Book Edition of

This ebook contains some extra features which were not in the original hardcover and paperback editions of
The White Dragon
.
First and foremost are the color maps, which I commissioned from my friend Elizabeth Person. If you have a black-and-white e-reader and would like to see the color versions, or if you'd just like to see a larger image of the maps and some additional information about them, they're posted on my website.
There's also a

The White Dragon
has been out of print for a few years, and I am delighted to be able to make it available again. I hope you enjoy this novel—as well as the conclusion of this trilogy,
The Destroyer Goddess
, and the first book in the story,
In Legend Born
.
