Set in a mediaeval realm where futuristic technologies and prehistoric beings alike can be summoned through the tapping of times power, this book depicts the story of Dennagon, a lone dragon sentry who battles to find omniscience. What sets Kenneth Engs first book, Dragons: Lexicon Triumvirate, apart from most science fiction/fantasy is the fact that it revolves not around humans, but dragons.
