All the Skills 3
Arthur’s rise as a Legendary card wielder is put to the test in a strange new dragon hive as this epic deck-building saga continues.
Newly dragon-linked, Arthur is savoring his importance, his cards, and his status as a Legendary rider. And his dragon, Brixaby, may only be a hatchling, but he’s already anxious to grow into his powers. Getting to eat cards along the way for new abilities is the icing on the cake.
Now, a chance encounter whisks Arthur, Brix, Cressida, and her own cheery little dragon to remote Mesa Free Hive, where crafting cards rule. The hive has remained miraculously untouched by the scourge poisoning the rest of the world. Its inhabitants―dragons and humans alike―want only to live safely for as long as they can.
But there is an edge to the place that’s unsettling for Arthur and rattling Brix’s wings. Maybe it’s the news that it holds a key to freeing the wretched borderland where Arthur was raised. Or maybe there’s an old enemy lurking in the shadows who’s a threat to not only Arthur and his gang but all of Mesa Free.
Whatever the risks to come, Arthur’s developing a keener grasp of his cards―and more importantly, a deeper understanding of himself and the ever more powerful card sets he’s destined for.

Cozy Pairings

Kraken is a deep and woodsy fragrance that blends weathered driftwood with rich tobacco and worn leather. Smooth and grounding, this scent carries a subtle saltiness balanced by warm, earthy notes that create a sense of depth and character. The combination feels both rugged and refined, with a softness that lingers in the air. Layered and atmospheric, it feels expansive while remaining warm and inviting.
Why we chose this: Arthur stole a heart card from a dragon and has been running ever since, building a deck of extraordinary powers and forging unlikely friendships with dragon riders, spell card collectors, and the hatchling who chose him when no one expected it. Kraken carries the weathered, adventurous depth of a series about someone discovering what they are capable of while always staying one step ahead of those who want to take it from them. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the open-water atmosphere of driftwood and tobacco fill the room like a sky full of dragons and the feeling that the horizon has never looked more full of possibility.
