Using a new Legendary treasure-seeking card, Arthur and Brixaby travel to an unknown kingdom in search of a way to defeat the scourglings.

They arrive in a land both familiar and strange. A continent where there have been no dragons for generations. One where human civilization now exists in shrinking cities which are increasingly squeezed in by dead lands. Here, the bold and desperate risk it all for the promise of cards.

Arthur, Brixaby, and their newly reunited retinue will need every trick they can pull from their decks. In the core of the city rests the dark heart of an ancient scourgling eruption. And it’s reawakening.

This once-in-a-decade opportunity offers new powers, secrets to the origins of scourglings, and high-level cards for the taking… for those brave enough to delve deep, and survive.

It may also be the key for Arthur to complete his Master card set.

Read full series description

The universe Rae builds is as intricate as it is immersive—where magic isn’t just a force, but a skill, quantified and carefully balanced. Each card, each ability, feels earned. And for Arthur, every decision matters. As he navigates this strange new reality, he’s not only faced with life-threatening challenges but also forced to confront his own limitations, desires, and the complexities of the systems that govern his world.

What sets All the Skills apart is its clever blend of strategy, humor, and heart. The series doesn't just offer readers a thrilling ride through magic and combat; it’s also a thoughtful exploration of growth, both in-game and out. Arthur’s journey is one of self-discovery, where every victory—and every setback—teaches him something deeper about who he is and who he could become.

The characters, particularly Arthur, are as multifaceted as the world they inhabit. Rae’s writing brings each one to life with a mix of vulnerability and strength, grounding even the most fantastical elements in relatable emotions. There’s no shortage of humor, strategy, and heart-pounding moments, making this a series for those who crave more than just magic—it's a story about choice, change, and the power of perseverance.

Dive into All the Skills, where magic isn’t just something you cast; it’s something you learn, master, and wield with purpose. From the first card drawn to the final spell cast, this is a series that will keep you hooked, always wondering what comes next.
