About This Book
Arthur has fought his way from nothing to Legendary status, bonded to a dragon with world-shaking potential—even if that dragon currently fits in your palm. In the third installment of Honour Rae's All the Skills series, Arthur and Brixaby find themselves drawn into a hidden world outside everything they've known: a Free Hive untouched by the corruption spreading across the rest of the planet, where card-crafting is an art form and safety is an illusion. Old enemies don't stay quiet for long, and the only way to protect something worth protecting is to grow stronger, faster, and smarter—one card at a time.
What makes this book work is how Rae balances the mechanical satisfaction of deck-building progression with genuine emotional stakes. The card system never feels like a spreadsheet dressed up in fantasy clothing; it feels like a language Arthur is slowly learning to speak fluently. The pacing is generous without being indulgent, the world expands in ways that feel earned rather than arbitrary, and the bond between Arthur and Brixaby gives the power fantasy a warm, grounded center that keeps readers invested beyond the next skill unlock.
