Dragon Slayer Stephen Jager

As a persecuted soldier of the Roman Empire, George has to kill a Dragon plaguing a local village, to escape his own execution. GEORGE of Nicomedia is a Roman Tribune. Secretly he is also a convert of the newest religion at the time - Christianity - a movement that threatens the very existence of the Roman Empire. Subsequently one of the four ruling Emperors, GERALIUS, draws up an edict to exterminate Christians, even if they were Roman soldiers. In an attempt to mock George's new found religion Geralius issues an ultimatum that if George can get an entire village to agree to the 'water ritual' within the week, he would exempt him from persecution. An impossible task George decides to flee, only to stumble into the middle a pagan ritual where a young woman, SABRA, is about to be sacrificed, in order to appease a Dragon that lives in the waters of Lake of Silene, believed to have been sent by the goddess Juturna. Forced to face his own dormant fears can George, not only rescue the young woman and kill the beast, but also save the souls of an entire village?
