From the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education
comes the fifth volume of the Temeraire series, as Will Laurence and
Temeraire struggle to reunite and face the Napoleonic army on London's
doorstep.
"A story about friendship that transcends not only time and class, but
species."--NPR
For Britain, conditions are grim: Napoleon's resurgent forces have
breached the Channel and successfully invaded English soil. Napoleon's
prime objective is the occupation of London. Unfortunately, the dragon
Temeraire has been removed from military service--and his captain, Will
Laurence, has been condemned to death for treason.
Separated by their own government and threatened at every turn by
Napoleon's forces, Laurence and Temeraire must struggle to find each
other amid the turmoil of war. If only they can be reunited, master and
dragon might rally Britain's scattered resistance forces and take the
fight to the enemy as never before, for king and country--and for their
own liberty.
