Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain futureβand an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as Franceβs own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparteβs boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
