YAChronicles of Kazam series.
Foundling and indentured servant Jennifer Strange runs Kazam Mystical Arts Management in the absence of its founder. When she learns that she herself is the Last Dragonslayer, all her skills at negotiating product endorsements, bribes, and threats are put to the test. Full of "wizidrical" and literary energy, Fforde's fantasy is smart, funny, and abundantly imaginative in its critique of commercial culture.
