Synopsis

So you want to be a Dragon Slayer, do you? Well then, you have picked the right book.

So begins Sir Wyvern Pugilist's new guide for preparing the young to engage the snarly and slimy monsters presently inhabiting our spiritual world. Lest you think, however, that this is a manual for anyone casually contemplating a match with a dragon, read on. Pugilist, an experienced Dragon Slayer, makes it clear that this is no small task, and he pulls no punches. He alternately yells and cajoles, pleads and flatters―whatever it takes to grow his students into bona fide Dragon Slayers. But be careful: This is only for those who are most serious about facing the malicious monsters (sin!) head-on! Sir Wyvern includes the essentials on armor and powerful prayers to ward off spiritual attacks from dragons.

"Would that all Dragon Slayers wrote like this! Wyvern Pugilist, where have you been all our lives?" The Boston Post and Intelligentsia

"It was not until I read this guide that I discovered I have used all the wrong methods in fighting dragons." An Anonymous Dragon Slayer in California

"There is no doubt that Sir Wyvern Pugilist's detailed guidebook will spring to the top of the bestseller lists in no time. I suggest you buy yours now, before the title sells out and you have to wait in line for more copies. Because wait-in-line you will!" Joanne de Arc, Director Emeritus, French Institute for the Slaying of the Dragons

"Congratulations to Paraclete Press for successfully persuading Sir Wyvern to put pen to paper and for giving us this new manual on Dragon Slaying! It is long overdue! We enthusiastically recommend this guidebook for young and old alike, it's just that good." Slayers' Weekly

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Sir Wyvern Pugilist, Slayer of a Thousand Dragons, knows whereof he writes: Descended from a family of Dragon Slayers that traces its lineage back at least 500 years, and includes an uncle about whom the author tells little, although we are given hints of his importance, Pugilist s credentials are rock solid and trustworthy. In some ways, he remains a mystery, sharing little about his personal life; in others ways, he is refreshingly transparent, confessing early-on his repeated failures in successfully slaying a particular dragon. He is openly impatient with his readers, even rude, yet admits to a growing affection for them; and he waxes sentimental over the woman he loves a woman he has never met, who lived hundreds of years before his birth. What we do know is that, while still a young man, Sir Pugilist entered a secret order of Dragon Slayers, through which he has continued his lifelong work of fighting each and every one of the devilish beasts that crosses his path. Now he shares with us, the reading public, crucial lessons from the frontlines. (This bio is officially approved by Sir Wyvern Pugilist, adding only the fact that he has, in truth, slain far more than the measly one thousand dragons mentioned above.)
