Aโฆ Captain William Laurence and his extraordinary dragon, Temeraire, find themselves at the heart of a desperate struggle for control of Europe. With the British Isles under unprecedented threat and Napoleon's dragon-borne forces poised for conquest, their duty to defend their homeland clashes with the rigid societal structures that often bind them. As the conflict escalates to a brutal war unlike any seen before, Laurence and Temeraire must navigate dangerous political currents and make impossible choices, even if it means defying command and risking everything they hold dear.
