You're not just raising a child. You're raising a future saint.
That's the whole job. And no saint in history ever reached heaven without learning to face the same seven dragons your child faces every day. Pride. Envy. Sloth. Greed. Wrath. Gluttony. Lust. They have names. They have weaknesses. And in this series, your child meets them face to face, with the weapons of virtue in hand. The 7 Deadly Dragons is a complete 7-book chapter book series that takes the oldest battle in the world, the soul against the seven deadly sins, and turns it into the kind of story kids beg to keep reading. When his father dies, young Rolland is sent to the hidden Woodshire Academy of Dragon Slaying on the remote Viaticus Islands. There, under the guidance of Father Thomas, he discovers a shocking truth. The dragons he must face are not beasts of flesh. They are the seven deadly sins themselves, dragons that don't kill the body, but devour the soul. Book by book, Rolland and his fellow squires are trained to face, fight, and defeat each one, learning the weapons of virtue that overcome them. By the time your child closes the last book, they will have:
Met all seven deadly sins by name and learned to recognize them in real life
Trained alongside Rolland in the virtues that overcome them
Encountered Catholic prayer, the rosary, the sacraments, and the lives of saints woven naturally into a story they love
