"Planet Derkesthai; Continent Tlivus; the date is September 2nd of the year 58,273 D.R. (Dragon Reckoning); 6:15P.m.; Day I... To Jos, dragons represent all that is evil. They epitomize the loss and pain he has experienced in his lifetime of enslavement. That is, until he meets Lessiam. Can one lad and his beast of a friend be the spark that ignites the full flames of widespread rebellion--a rebellion that could mean a return of peace and harmony to the dying people of Derkesthai?"
