Synopsis

If you’re brave, follow cousins Beth and Patrick to Libya in the 13th century. The town of Silene is being terrorized by a vicious animal that is eating livestock. The townspeople believe it’s a dragon sent by the devil. In order to appease the beast, the people believe they must offer a human sacrifice―a young girl named Sabra. When Beth tries to help Sabra escape, she too is tied up as an offering for the dragon. Meanwhile, Patrick and a new friend named Hazi join Georgius, a Roman knight who is serving in Africa to keep peace. Georgius decides to find the dragon and kill it. Georgius’s plans go awry when Beth and Sabra beg him not to kill the dragon. The girls know the true secret of Silene―the dragon isn’t its worst enemy.

About this title

From the Author:

Hunt for the Devil's Dragon gave me a chance to really delve into the possibility that dragons might be real. Between the many legends about "Saint George and the Dragon" and, more importantly, the description of the leviathan in the Bible, it sure seemed like fertile ground for a fun story. Add in a little confrontation with crazy villagers and power-hungry Romans, and you've got yourself an adventure. Enjoy!

From the Back Cover:
