After HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and its precious cargo—a dragon egg—Captain Will Laurence’s life is abruptly reshaped. He becomes the master of the new dragon, Temeraire, and is thrust into the nascent Aerial Corps, where Britain’s aerial warfare begins. Facing France’s own dragon‑borne forces, Laurence must master airborne tactics and lead his newfound ally into the heart of conflict during the Napoleonic Wars. The novel blends historical naval detail with fantastical dragons, exploring how this new element reshapes the brutal maritime conflict of the early 19th century.
