Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
Dragons appear when civilizations are at war with chaos.
Journey through the forgotten inheritance of the English-speaking world - from Beowulf and the legends of Hengest and Horsa to Arthur, Magna Carta, the Reformation, the Puritans, and the American founding.
Along the way, the dragon changes. What begins as a monster of pagan heroic legend becomes a symbol of chaos, tyranny, betrayal, greed, and spiritual evil. The stories of the past become a map for understanding the struggles of the present.
This book asks a larger question:
What kind of civilization should we seek to preserve and build?
The answer is neither secular individualism nor ethno-nationalism, but a Christian civilization rooted in biblical faith, ordered liberty, strong families and communities, historical memory, and local self-government - an inheritance open to people of every background.
To recover that inheritance is not merely to look backward.
It is to discover where we came from, understand what has been lost, and prepare to face the dragons of our own age.
Recover your inheritance.
Renew the culture.
Become a dragon slayer.
