From the creator of the hit podcast Dad’s Bedtime Stories for Kids Magic lives in the cards. Power lives in the player. When young Carter receives his first magic card on Choosing Day, he’s thrown into a world of wild magic, daring duels, and strange creatures—each one more powerful and unpredictable than the last. Armed with a mysterious Fire Dragonling and a glowing Card Core that lets him store, summon, and even create magical cards, Carter begins his journey into a vibrant, competitive realm where kids battle for glory… and survival.
