On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron gas station for the dragon hed hired to help on the farmSarah Dewhurst and her father, outcasts in their little town of Frome, Washington, are forced to hire a dragon to work their farm, something only the poorest of the poor ever have to resort to.

The dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye, though.

Sarah cant help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesnt have a soul but who is seemingly intent on keeping her safe.Because the dragon knows something she doesnt.He has arrived at the farm with a prophecy on his mind.

A prophecy that involves a deadly assassin, a cult of dragon worshippers, two FBI agents in hot pursuitand somehow, Sarah Dewhurst herself.
