Dragon
$20.46
While Briana, the fair young Queen of Lugin, is giving birth to her first child, in the not-so-distant forest a most unusual hatchling is born to a beautiful green dragon. Briana's son, Prince Langilor, is a shy and gentle boy... Saras, the young dragon, becomes an arrogant bully, who terrorizes the dragon clan and threatens the Kingdom of Lugin. During his twelfth year, Langilor stands before his parents and the Royal Advisors... With ever-increasing threats from enemies to the north as well as the dangerous fire-breathing dragon, how could this gentle young Prince ever be strong enough to protect the kingdom?
The Vision
“The one who was an enemy has become a friend.”
This story beautifully illustrates that true strength is found in compassion and understanding, not just power. It shows children how to transform conflict into lasting alliance.
