Fifteen-year-old foundling Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for magicians�??but it's hard to stay in business when magic is drying up. And then the visions start, predicting the death of the world's last dragon at the hands of an unnamed Dragonslayer. If the visions are true, everything will change for Kazam�??and for Jennifer.
