Dragon Seed

A compelling story for teens, this book explores spiritual warfare through a modern narrative and a parallel biblical story. As Nick faces personal struggles, readers learn about sin, pride, and the hope of turning to Christ in life’s unseen battles.

Dragon Seed is a gripping, dual-layered story that helps teens understand spiritual warfare through both real-life struggles and a powerful biblical narrative. When Nick’s life begins to spiral—marked by anger, family tension, and a missing father—he is drawn into a mysterious family legacy through an old, handwritten book. As he reads, Nick encounters the story of another troubled young man from Scripture, creating a compelling parallel that reveals deeper truths about sin, pride, and the unseen battle for the heart. Blending contemporary fiction with biblical storytelling, Marty Machowski invites middle-schoolers and teens to explore the reality of spiritual warfare in a way that is both imaginative and grounded in truth. With a twelve-lesson Bible study included, the book moves beyond story into discipleship, helping readers identify the “shadows” in their own lives and turn toward Christ with humility and faith.
