The descriptions of the different kinds of Dragon breeds and what their strengths are... absolutely fascinating.

pickFrank is summoned by the alcoholic father he has met only a few times in his 16 years, and who managed to disappoint him every time. He learns that his father is dying and wants Frank to take him to his final resting place. During their days together Frank learns who his father is and gains an understanding of his own life.
