Temeraire: Throne of Jade
Author: Naomi Novik
 
Temeraire is a Chinese Celestial Dragon, the most highly-prized of all the draconic breeds; famed for their intelligence, agility and most of all for the Divine Wind - their terrible roar capable of shattering the heavy timbers of war ships and devastating vast swathes of infantry.
Delivered into British hands by the Trade Winds, Temeraire was intended to be a companion to the Emperor Napoleon, and not captained by lowly naval officer Captain William Laurence. Together they held the French from the shores of Dover, whilst Nelson fought bravely at Trafalgar. But tidings of Temeraire's fate have reached the Chinese, and they furiously demand their dragon's return. The British government cannot afford to provoke the Asian super-power into allying with their enemies - even if it costs them the most powerful weapon in their arsenal.
