The war against Napoleon rages on as Captain Laurence and his dragon Temeraire pursue the retreating French forces. But their victory is short-lived—Napoleon is raising a new army of dragons, luring them with promises of power. Laurence and his allies must act fast to defeat the emperor once and for all, even as their own petty squabbles threaten to tear them apart. When the French steal Temeraire's precious egg, it's a race against time to rescue it and end Napoleon's reign of terror.
