“A new writer is soaring on the wings of a dragon.” –The
New York Times
“Enthralling reading–it’s like Jane
Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragon’s Christopher
Paolini.” –Time, on His Majesty’s
Dragon
Tragedy has struck His Majesty’s Aerial
Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their
human captains valiantly defend England’s shores against the
encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of
unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble
dragons’ ranks–forcing the hopelessly stricken into
quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited
dragons remain uninfected–and stand as the only means of an
airborne defense against France’s ever bolder
sorties. Bonaparte’s dragons are already harrowing
Britain’s ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire
and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa,
whose shores may hold the cure to the mysterious and deadly
contagion. On this mission there is no time to waste, and no
telling what lies in store beyond the horizon or for those
left behind to wait, hope, and hold the line.
“A
gripping adventure full of rich detail and the impossible
wonder of gilded fantasy.” –Entertainment Weekly, on His
Majesty’s Dragon
“A thrilling fantasy . . . All hail
Naomi Novik.” –The Washington Post Book World, on His
Majesty’s Dragon
