About this audiobook
A war is coming down out of the north, and the letter that says so names the one thing the South cannot fight it without: the wolves. There are five packs on Southern ground. Nobody in the capital has ever spoken to one.
So the King of the South does what he does, which is write a letter and ask, with a seven-year-old finishing the last line for him. The answer comes back on a single sheet with five names on it, and the nearest of them is a lord two hours' ride from the palace gate who has been refusing every invitation for thirty years. He turns out to be the General's brother-in-law.
The Man Who Waits is the fourth volume of The Heart of a King: a midsummer drinking game, a dinner on the chalk where a wolf's name is asked for properly, a pack shown to a boy in a field, a fortnight in which nothing whatever is allowed to happen, and a festival street in which the city makes up its own mind in two minutes.
