    Summary

    “Gentleman, rather than the best of our front line aerial corps, and subject our dear Sapa Inca to a loveless marriage, can we not offer her the best opportunity at love and a prodigious match by extending her a tour of the London season?” Alice Pemberton looked around at the table, as comprehension dawned on more than one face. “Would she not be the flower of the ton?-“

    ———
    Anahuarque decides to have a London season rather than marry Napoleon, so the Incans, the Tswana, unmarried Portuguese royalty, Lord Bayan, and His Majesty’s Aerial Corps descend on London, Bridgerton Style.

    Summary

    The Regal Copper Laurentius accidentally acquires a captain, Tharkay spectates, Temeraire is Not Actually an Orphan, and no one really knows who's leading France. Someone should probably get on that, considering England is at war with the place.

    Summary

    "A present," Temeraire repeated. "The white stag. To...show our appreciation of him as our host."

     

    "That seems very foolish."

    Temeraire sniffed. "I would not want people to think my host did not have enough things, or sufficiently fine ones."

    "Oh, very well," grumbled Iskierka, sounding disgruntled in her turn. "I suppose you are right. I will have to join you."

    "No you will not!"

    "I will; you are right; there is nothing else for it."

    Or: Temeraire and Iskierka discover (something adjacent to) the true meaning of Christmas.

    Summary

    When, during their desperate flight from Scotland to France with the cure to the dragon plague, Laurence and Temeraire encounter an English patrol hellbent on stopping their mission, Laurence finds himself near mortally wounded and his return to England thus necessarily delayed. The ripple effects of this extended stay in France will be far beyond what he, or his eager hosts, could have anticipated.

    Summary

    His Majesty's Aerial Corps holds many secrets, but none are more closely guarded than the Plague and the Change. A century ago, amidst the War of the Spanish Succession, disease ravaged the British Isles, bringing about the death of a majority of dragons—a tragedy of the highest order kept hidden from the public eye. Even those that survived were left unable to fight or breed new offspring. After the Plague, all that was left to carry forward to future generations were the surviving eggs yet unhatched and a single healthy formation kept away in isolation. But these were insufficient in number to make a sustainable population, and besides, there was the more urgent problem that England was still at war and still needed her dragons. The alchemist Sir Issac Newton approached the Corps, however, and proposed a solution, one that won them the war and one that is still carried forward to this day: the Change. Dragons need not be hatched, when they can be made.

    Captain Will Laurence, of His Majesty's Navy, knows none of this when the hatchling Temeraire chooses him as his companion. But to Loch Laggan they have been sent, and to Loch Laggan they must go, unaware that some people go there not to train, but to become dragons.

    Summary

    Temeraire is dead.

    Temeraire is dead, and Laurence’s reason for living along with him. He stumbles on, day by day, conscious of the concern of his friends and family, yet unable to care.

    Until an unexpected letter leads Laurence to something even more unexpected still: a child.

    What a Chinese orphan is doing on the streets of Edinburgh is anyone’s guess, including the orphan's. Tharkay, for his part, suspects foul play. Laurence can see all that is sensible in the man’s suspicions, yet once again he cannot bring himself to care. Not when the child reminds him so very strongly of that which he’s lost.

    But the thing was, the damned crux of the matter, was that Laurence wouldn’t stop touching Granby.

    Summary

    “No,” Laurence said, but his voice was belated and weak. He attempted to stand from where he had been kneeling beside Temeraire, but his knees buckled beneath him as he fell with a low groan, and Tharkay was forced to grab his arm to keep him upright.

    For a moment, Granby attributed it to nothing more than exhaustion and having knelt so long in the Russian chill, then Tharkay said suddenly, sharply, “Will,” in an entirely different tone of voice, demanding and tense. “Where are you bleeding?”
