Synopsis
This is a collection of short fiction set in Naomi Novik's alternate nineteenth-century Temeraire universe, with each story inspired by a piece of fan art of the series. Rather than continuing the main saga's plot directly, the entries range across the world's history and characters: one follows an early encounter with the American dragon John Wampanoag at Boston Harbor, another follows a dragon who believes his own name is Celeste as he hatches alone on an island after a shipwreck and gradually discovers others of his kind, and a further story crosses over with literary history through the characters Captain Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Combining seven stories with several shorter pieces, the collection is designed to work both as a stand-alone introduction to the world's tone and as a companion volume of side stories for existing readers of the series.
Where it sits
- Universe: Temeraire
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: Naomi Novik
Notes
- Subterranean Press collection of Temeraire short stories each inspired by fan art, plus 26 drabbles. Several pieces are explicitly alternate-universe (e.g. the title story is an AU origin for Laurence and Temeraire; 'Dragons and Decorum' is a Pride & Prejudice crossover), canonically unreliable by design, hence Expanded. Two further uncollected in-world shorts ('In Autumn, a White Dragon Looks Over the Wide River', 2009 omnibus original; 'Vici', 2009 anthology story set in the same world's ancient Rome) are not separately registered pending collection, the same treatment applied to the Dresden Files' own uncollected stories.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
