Danger awaits Arthur and his card-hungry dragon as this riveting deck-building adventure continues.
When Arthur and his dragon, Brixaby—now the size of a cart and looking to add power to his card set—land on the far side of the deadlands, they encounter the oddest city they've ever seen. No high-and-mighty nobles here; just street performers and sheriffs to maintain the peace. Except not all is as it seems . . .
At the core of the city is the Dark Heart, a dormant, pulsating, seemingly bottomless pit in which scourglings spawn and the rules of magic bend. It's reawakening ahead of schedule, and Arthur and Brix have been enlisted as deputized fixers. As good an opportunity as any to make a big splash, earn extra cards and cash, and gain favor among the citizens as local heroes.
And Arthur may just discover the key he needs to complete his Master card set in the process. He and Brix are well-armed for the descent, but they soon learn that everything in this city comes with a price. And what really lies at the bottom of its Dark Heart could carry the steepest price of all.
The fourth volume of the hit progression fantasy series, featuring a unique card-based magic system, now available for the first time in print!
