If you're ready to go down some unexpected avenues, I'd recommend:

Lucius Shepard's "Griaule" novellas ("The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule," "The Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter," "Father of Stones," "Liar's House"). These chronicle the physical and psychic impacts of a giant (think in terms of miles) but hibernating dragon on the surrounding countryside.
Mike Resnick's Dragon America. What would the 1776 Revolutionary War have looked like if dragons were found to be native to North America?

Neither has a wizard, elf or unicorn to be found. If I recall correctly, no swordplay either.
