The Imagination Station #11: Hunt for the
Devil's Dragon
If you're brave, follow cousins Beth and Patrick to Libya in the
13th century. The town of Silene is being terrorized by a vicious
animal that is eating livestock. The townspeople believe it's a
dragon sent by the devil. In order to appease the beast, the people
believe they must offer a human sacrifice—a young girl named Sabra.
When Beth tries to help Sabra escape, she too is tied up as an
offering for the dragon. Meanwhile, Patrick and a new friend named
Hazi join Georgius, a Roman knight who is serving in Africa to keep
peace. Georgius decides to find the dragon and kill it. Georgius's
plans go awry when Beth and Sabra beg him not to kill the dragon.
The girls know the true secret of Silene—the dragon isn't its worst
enemy.
