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!

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.
