League of Dragons
Book 9 of the Temeraire series
Napoleon's final campaigns spread across Europe while dragons disappear from both sides under circumstances suggesting a strategy beyond ordinary battle. Laurence and Temeraire work with allies gathered across the series to challenge French power and secure a political future for dragonkind. The approach to Waterloo makes military victory inseparable from negotiations over rights, loyalty, and the postwar order. Sweeping and satisfying, this finale suits readers who enjoy coalition warfare, returning characters, dragon diplomacy, and historical fantasy concluding with reform as well as battlefield courage.
