From the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education
comes the sixth volume of the Temeraire series, as Will Laurence and
Temeraire are exiled to Australia in the ever expanding war between
Napoleon and Britain.
"Temeraire and his fellow dragons are surely Novik's finest
accomplishment."--BookPage
Convicted of treason despite their heroic defense against Napoleon's
invasion of England, Temeraire and Captain Will Laurence have been
transported to a prison colony in distant Australia--and into a hornet's
nest of fresh complications. The colony is in turmoil after the
overthrow of military governor William Bligh--aka Captain Bligh, late of
HMS Bounty. And when Bligh tries to enlist them in his bid to regain
office, the dragon and his captain are caught in the middle of a
political power struggle. Their only chance to escape the fray is
accepting a mission to blaze a route through the forbidding Blue
Mountains and into the interior of Australia.
But the theft of a precious dragon egg turns their expedition into a
desperate recovery operation--leading to a shocking discovery and a
dangerous new complication in the global war between Britain and
Napoleon.
