All the Skills 2 - Rae, Honour

. .

Résumé :
A new world of escalating skills, threats, and Legendary wonders opens up for an aspiring hero as this rousing deck-building fantasy continues. In possession of a new card, Master of Body Enhancement, Arthur has moved far beyond the borderlands. Once it's paired with his Master of Skills card, he can only imagine the powers that await him. And he'll need them. As a young man on a mission, he's about to discover there's something rotten in the village of Wolf Moon Hive. A once-in-a-generation Legendary dragon egg has drawn noble scions and hangers-on, all anticipating who among them will be the first to link with the eagerly awaited hatchling. Arthur feels the egg's pull and is certain of his destiny as a Legendary rider. But the competition to bond with it pits him against the fiercest of card wielders-including his own cousin. If the impending duel isn't daunting enough, a scourge has unleashed a cloud of dagger-toothed, card-eating monsters that dive straight for the heart. The plague forces Arthur to protect himself, the fiery Lady Cressida, and all the citizens of the hive. Such an undertaking will surely make him a hero and prove his worth as a true dragon-linked leader. Won't it? Time will tell. And time is not on Arthur's side. His vengeful cousin will do anything to strip him of his fortune. But neither is prepared for what arises from the cracking shell of the Legendary egg and the revelations that come with it . . . The second volume of the hit progression fantasy series, featuring a unique card-based magic system, now available for the first time in print! Honour Rae's All the Skills has everything I love: great writing, an intriguing mystery, and badass dragons. Well, some of them are badass. Some are dweebs, and that makes it even more awesome. -Matt Dinniman, bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl A fantastic work that is fast establishing Honour Rae as one of the big names of LitRPG. The characters, plot, and world-building are incredibly compelling, and like many readers, my only issue was devouring it and then having to wait for more. -Travis Deverell aka Shirtaloon, bestselling author of He Who Fights with Monsters A wonderful and unique take on the LitRPG genre reminiscent of Dragonriders of Pern. The diverse cast of characters and detailed setting draw you in from the start. I look forward to more. -Aleron Kong, bestselling author of the Land Saga...

Having selected banker as her profession and purchased sturdy oxen as well as all the ammunition she could afford, Honour Rae loaded her family into a wagon and set out to establish a homestead. Unfortunately, she could only keep two hundred pounds of the deer, elk, bears, bison, squirrels, and rabbits she massacred along the way. Soon, dysentery set in and attempting to ford the river proved to be a huge mistake. Somehow, Rae and her family pulled through--albeit with the loss of any extra wagon parts. The Oregon Trail conquered, and having made it to the Willamette Valley, she sat down to write this book....
