As Arthur’s power and influence rise to new heights, so do new threats hoping to see him fall, as this enchanting deck-building journey continues.
Following the defeat of the tyrant Chester, Arthur has ascended to leader of the Blood Moon Hive. The responsibilities of the position would be daunting enough without also having to navigate treacherous servants, apathetic bureaucrats, downtrodden citizens, and a dangerous web of political scheming.
Armed with his mighty deck and his faithful sidekick, Brixaby, Arthur’s first order of business is to recruit old friends and amass a flight of wild, riderless dragons to strengthen Blood Moon’s ranks. But even he’s unprepared for what comes next . . .
Monstrous eruptions are striking with unnatural frequency, unleashing mind-controlling, mutating scourglings that are devastating the landscape. Guided by the insidious Mind Singer, who seeks to devour the world, the beasts’ prime target is Arthur.
Now, to save himself, his hive, and his people, Arthur’s pushing his skills to their absolute limits. But with an apocalypse on the horizon, he’ll be forced to go all out to draw a winning hand, lest the Scourge Gods fold the kingdom for good.
The sixth volume of the hit progression fantasy series, featuring a unique card-based magic system, now available for the first time in print!
