Naomi Novik''s stunning series of novels follow the adventures of Captain William Laurence and his fighting dragon Temeraire as they are thrown together to fight for Britain during the turbulent time of the Napoleonic Wars. History takes flight in this deliciously addictive novel, which captures the Napoleonic period perfectly and skilfully layers history with imagination by adding a Dragon Air Force to the battle for England. Temeraire is a Celestial dragon, the most highly-prized of all 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 woodland. Captured by the British, Temeraire was meant to be the companion of the Emperor Napoleon and not captained by a mere officer in the British Air Corps. The Chinese have demanded his return and the British government cannot afford to provoke the Asian super-power into allying with the French - even if it costs them the most powerful weapon in their arsenal, and forces Laurence and Temeraire apart.

Temeraire: Cartea a IV-a Oastea Maiestatii Sale trebuie sa lupte. Dragonii zburatori si capitanii lor apara neinfricati granitele Angliei infruntand soldatii lui Napoleon Bonaparte. In plus apare si o epidemie de origine necunoscuta iar suferinzii intra in carantina. Numai Temeraire si cativa dragoni nou recrutati raman neatinsi de molima. Alaturi de capitanul Laurence Temeraire porneste spre Africa unde s-ar putea afla leacul misterios. Nu au timp de pierdut si nu stiu ce le rezerva soarta suferinzilor care spera sa supravietuiasca. „A patra carte din seria de succes Temeraire ne invita sa descoperim alte continente purtandu-ne pe aripile unei povesti ce cucereste orice cititor.“ The Washington Post „Numarandu-se printre cei mai talentati scriitori din vremea noastra Naomi Novik a inventat unul dintre cei mai fascinanti dragoni din toata literatura lumii un dragon de neuitat.“ The New York Times "
