About the Temeraire series
Naomi Novik's Temeraire reimagines the Napoleonic Wars with one glorious addition: dragons. Captain Will Laurence of the Royal Navy captures a French frigate carrying a dragon egg, and when it hatches and bonds to him, he's pulled from the sea into Britain's Aerial Corps — and into a deep friendship with the brilliant, principled dragon Temeraire.
The series is beloved for the Laurence-Temeraire bond, its meticulous alternate history, and the way Temeraire's outsider perspective interrogates the era's injustices, from slavery to the treatment of dragons themselves. Think Patrick O'Brian's naval fiction crossed with dragons.
Start with "His Majesty's Dragon" and read in order — the campaign sweeps across the globe and the world's politics evolve across all nine books.
