Where to start Temeraire
Start Temeraire with His Majesty’s Dragon (UK: Temeraire). Nine novels in publication order. League of Dragons is the end, not book one. Not Scholomance.
Short answer
His Majesty’s Dragon — UK: Temeraire
It is book one (2006). Same novel under the UK title Temeraire. The eight sequels assume that first hatching. Do not start with League of Dragons. This is not Scholomance.
Nine novels. Publication order.
The war moves. So does the partnership. There is no chronological prequel hiding as a gentler door. Search His Majesty’s Dragon or Temeraire; English editions disagree on the first title, not on the first book.
What is not this series
Novik’s later school trilogy is a different shelf. See Scholomance. Uprooted and Spinning Silver are standalones. They are not Temeraire 0.
