In the first novel of the New York Times bestselling Temeraire series, a rare bond is formed between a young man and a dragon, and together they must battle in the Napoleonic Wars.

“A terrifically entertaining fantasy novel.”—Stephen King

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiantwarriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraftbut atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

When HMS Reliant captures a Frenchfrigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpectedkinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of theAerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in thedaring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rallyto breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire mustsoar into their own baptism of fire.
