Throne of Jade
Book 2 of the Temeraire series
Temeraire's rare breed makes him valuable to China, whose representatives insist that a dragon of imperial blood should never have served a British captain. Laurence accompanies him to China rather than accept their separation, entering a court where dragons possess rights and status unlike anything in Britain. Diplomacy, family secrets, assassination attempts, and Temeraire's encounter with his heritage challenge both partners' assumptions about duty. Rich and adventurous, this sequel suits readers who enjoy alternate history, sea voyages, Chinese court politics, and friendships strong enough to resist governments claiming ownership over either participant.
