His Majesty's Dragon
Book • 2006
His Majesty's Dragon is the first novel in the Temeraire series, set during an alternate-history version of the Napoleonic Wars in which dragons are intelligent, sapient creatures capable of speech and logical thought.
The story follows Navy captain Will Laurence, who captures a French frigate carrying an unhatched dragon egg.
When the egg hatches, the dragon imprints on Laurence and chooses him as his handler, forcing Laurence to abandon his naval career and join the Aerial Corps.
Together, Laurence and the dragon he names Temeraire learn to fly and fight alongside other dragons and riders in aerial battles to defend Britain against French invasion.
