A mysterious prophecy.
An ancient curse.
An invisible dragon.
Seth’s parents had secrets they wouldn’t share with him. Why had they been kicked out of the Garden? Why had the King cursed the land? He wanted to know more. He had to find out the truth.
But finding answers to his questions would prove more challenging than he imagined.
In the second book in the Dragon Slayer Bible Series, readers will experience a world where the consequences of sin have affected every part of creation, even the animals.
Can Seth learn his parents’ secret before the dragon destroys him?

About Garden of Mysteries
Novel, Devotional Book, or Bible Study??
The answer is … YES!
Garden of Mysteries, Book Two in the Dragon Slayer Bible Series, is part Bible-based fictional narrative, part devotional, and part Bible study. Through action-packed stories, inspiring scripture, and challenging devotional readings, boys will be trained to identify lies of the invisible dragon, and to trust more fully in the God of Angel Armies.
Garden of Mysteries begins with an 11-chapter, adventure-packed fictional retelling of a Bible story. Find out what the post-fall world of Adam and Eve may have been like. Ferocious beasts lurk in the darkness, and thorns and thistles cover the land.
Adam and Eve didn’t tell Seth the whole truth about what happened in the Garden of Eden. Seth struggles with discontentment, just like his parents did. Despite his parents warnings, Seth feels drawn towards the mysterious heavenly creatures called Cherubim, guarding the entrance to the Garden.
Meanwhile, the evil dragon is trying to win Seth’s loyalties, or destroy him in the process. He knows if he can eliminate the descendants of Eve, then the prophecy can never be fulfilled.
On his quest for Truth, Seth learns what it means to trust God, and to resist the lies of the evil dragon.
