Summary
When the crew of the Reliant captures the Amitie and the dragon egg it carries, Captain Will Laurence is set ill-at-ease—not because he is unfamiliar with dragons, but rather the opposite. For, over a decade ago following an injury aboard the Shorewise, he discovered he bore a curse, one that would cause him to awake from his dreams as something other than human, if ever his attentiveness slipped. He was a weredragon.
But then the hatchling Temeraire chooses him as his Captain, and the course of his life is forever altered, to become an aviator of His Majesty's Aerial Corps...at least by day. By night, the question of his nature remains quite up in the air.

Summary
No man liked to call himself superstitious. Ask any sailor and he would tell you that while others may have been worthy of that definition, he was a creature of reason, and his rituals were a tried-and-true method to assure safe travels, wealth and speedy advancement, unlike their irrational beliefs.
In which Laurence prove himself a little more peculiar than Granby first thought, much to his delight.

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.

Summary
The rumors regarding dragons are as multitudinous as they are lurid. Wild dragons will steal vast quantities of gold and other precious jewels from across the country and hoard it. They shall keep virgin maidens captive in their caves. Even tamed beasts will sometimes go wild, devouring innocent women and children. Dragons can take on a facsimile of human shape by consuming a man's blood.
Upon joining the Corps, Laurence is quite taken aback to find all these rumors false.
All except the last.
