All the Skills 4

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.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Kraken

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.
