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
  • Read more than 1,000 pages of full-color chapter book adventure with their own hands

BISHOP ENDORSED

“The Seven Deadly Dragons book series is a highly creative thoughtful tool for parents to train their children in striving for sainthood by identifying the temptations that confront them and practicing the virtues that overcome them. This series also illustrates how grace from the Sacraments operates in engaging the battle for holiness. I heartily recommend this series for anyone tasked with teaching the moral life to children.”

Bishop of Toledo: Most Reverend Daniel E. Thomas

About the Author

Dr. John R. Wood

Dr. John R. Wood

Sir Rolland Paterlot

Dr. John R. Wood is the author of ten books and the President of Extraordinary Mission, a Catholic nonprofit dedicated to the Universal Call to Holiness. His first book, Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Mission, has been distributed in over a quarter million copies, and he has spoken at hundreds of parishes and schools across the country.

In 2024, John and his family released The 7 Deadly Dragons series, which has already placed over 100,000 books in the hands of families learning to slay the dragons of sin with the weapons of virtue.

  • How Are These Catholic?

    The stories contain Catholic prayers and devotions (such as the rosary), Sacraments, and Saints. Each story has obtained the Permission to Publish from Bishop Daniel Thomas of the Diocese of Toledo assuring they are 100% faithful to the teachings of the CatholicChurch.

  • Is the Lust book appropriate?

    The book focuses on the "art of chivalry" and self-sacrifice. There is nothing inappropriate for kids but we always encourage parents to read first, and we hope the book starts important discussions to lay the foundation of chastity in your kids. We encourage you to read the Amazon reviews for the book as many parents address this question.

  • What age is this for?

    The books are geared toward ages 7-13 which is the age of the primary character as the story unfolds, but we highly recommend it as a family read aloud. Parents and older siblings love the stories as well and they open up great conversations!
