Empire of Ivory (Temeraire, Book 4)

â‚¬Å“A new writer is soaring on the wings of a dragon.â‚¬Â
â‚¬â€œThe New York Times

â‚¬Å“Enthralling readingâ‚¬â€œitâ‚¬s like Jane Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragonâ‚¬s Christopher Paolini.â‚¬Â
â‚¬â€œTime, on His Majestyâ‚¬s Dragon

Tragedy has struck His Majestyâ‚¬s Aerial Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their human captains valiantly defend Englandâ‚¬s shores against the encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble dragonsâ‚¬ ranksâ‚¬â€œforcing the hopelessly stricken into quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited dragons remain uninfectedâ‚¬â€œand stand as the only means of an airborne defense against Franceâ‚¬s ever bolder sorties.
Bonaparteâ‚¬s dragons are already harrowing Britainâ‚¬s ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa, whose shores may hold the cure to the mysterious and deadly contagion. On this mission there is no time to waste, and no telling what lies in store beyond the horizon or for those left behind to wait, hope, and hold the line.

â‚¬Å“A gripping adventure full of rich detail and the impossible wonder of gilded fantasy.â‚¬Â
â‚¬â€œEntertainment Weekly, on His Majestyâ‚¬s Dragon

â‚¬Å“A thrilling fantasy . . . All hail Naomi Novik.â‚¬Â
