This first book in the Last Dragon Charmer series is packed with adventure and wit, perfect for fans of Soman Chainani's School for Good and Evil series and Chris Colfer's Land of Stories series.

All his life, Prince Caden has dreamed of slaying a dragon. But before he has the chance, he is ripped from his home in the Great Winterlands of Razzon and finds himself in Asheville, North Carolina—a land with no magic and no dragons.

Or so he thinks. The longer Caden spends in Asheville, the more he comes to realize that there is unexpected and dangerous magic in this strange land. There just may be dragons here too. But what if Caden's destiny isn't to slay a dragon, after all?

From the Back Cover:

Nothing is more important than slaying a dragon. . . .

It will make Prince Caden's father proud, and grant him the title of Elite Paladin like his seven older brothers. But there is one big thing standing in Caden's way:

He has been mysteriously transported from his home in the Great Winterlands of Razzon to Asheville, North Carolina—a land with no magic and no dragons.

Or so he thinks. When he learns of a missing girl who seems to know more about magic than she should, a math teacher who looks suspiciously like the most dangerous villain ever banished from Razzon, and a mysterious "She" feared by all the teachers at school, Caden begins to realize that there is unexpected and dangerous magic in this strange land.

More important, there may just be dragons here, too. But what if Caden's destiny isn't to slay a dragon after all?
