Naomi Novik was born in New York in 1973, a first-generation American, and raised on Polish fairy tales, Baba Yaga, and Tolkien. She studied English Literature at Brown University and Computer Science at Columbia University before leaving to work in the games industry. Over the course of a brief winter sojourn working on a game in Canada, she realized she preferred the writing to the programming, and, on returning to New York, decided to try her hand at novels. Temeraire is her first.

fast-paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart’
Peter Jackson 'Novik won me over with her first novel. the
combination of history, sympathetic characters, and an engaging
style makes this series great, intelligent fun.’

plausible invention. In short a treat’
The Telegraph `Novik has stirred the passions with a genre-busting
historical fantasy of the first order’
