Destroy the World.</strong></p><p>Trinity Foxx is used to her grandfather's crazy stories, so she doesn't believe the latest treasure he brought home to their failing West Texas museum is a real dragon's egg.

Save the World</strong></p><p>But Connor's not the only one after the egg. His twin brother Caleb believes dragons have the power to save mankind and must be protected. Caleb has seen too many dragons destroyed in the war-scorched future--he'll do whatever it takes to save this one.</p><p>With a host of enemies hot on her heels, Trinity must decide who to believe. Connor the brave solider? Caleb the cocky rebel? Or the baby dragon that's starting to whisper to her...saying they are destined?

That's what rocked this book. I mean, dragons? DRAGONS!! YES! DRAGONS!...But we also have time travel and cool gadgets from the future. I thought the combination was really unique, and I loved reading a dragon book that actually takes place in present day (rather than in a pure medieval-ish fantasy world)." - Nose Graze<br><br>"Mancusi grabs readers and drags them into this fantastic world full of time-travel paradoxes, mythical creatures and romance.
