Description
The League of Dragons marks the thrilling conclusion to Naomi Novik's imaginative fantasy series. Napoleon's invasion of Russia has been thwarted, but the emperor is regrouping and preparing for a new offensive. As Capt. William Laurence and his dragon Temeraire pursue the retreating enemy through an unforgiving winter, they discover that Napoleon is offering vast rights and powers to dragons from across the world - including those in Asia, Africa, and England. This offer has been eagerly accepted by many, but Laurence and his loyal dragon soon realize that Napoleon's intentions are far from pure. The emperor has one final gambit at play, which could win him the war and the world. With internal struggles and petty squabbles threatening to tear the allies apart, the outcome is far from certain. As the stakes grow higher, Laurence and Temeraire must navigate a complex web of alliances and rivalries to prevent Napoleon's plans from coming to fruition. Will they be able to stop him, or will the League of Dragons prove to be his greatest strength?
