Blood of Tyrants
Book 8 of the Temeraire series
Laurence wakes shipwrecked in Japan with much of his memory gone and no certainty about Temeraire's fate. Their eventual reunion leads through diplomatic danger in Asia and into Napoleon's invasion of Russia, where scorched landscapes test armies and dragons alike. Memory loss forces Laurence to reconsider his identity before the experiences that made him question obedience and empire. Expansive and wintry, this installment suits readers who enjoy amnesia plots, Japanese encounters, the Russian campaign, and partnerships strong enough to survive when one member no longer remembers how it was formed.
