Irwin's Journey - The Cardsmith [Book 5 stubbing July 23]

Irwin's Journey - The Cardsmith [Book 5 stubbing July 23]

by Carrarn

ActionAdventureCraftingDeck BuildingFantasy

Progression, magical cards, weak to strong, card reforging! The young, sickly Irwin has seen nothing but bad luck in his short life. When his brother finally returns with a magical card for him, his luck is about to change. But will it change for the better? Irwin is sent off together with another group of youths to placate a group of sorcerers. With just a weird utility card granted by his brother, he can only pray to stay alive long enough. This is a card-gathering story. Crafting is not the main focus at first, but as the story progresses, it becomes increasingly important to the MC. Slow-paced, starts dark, weak-to-strong (but slow) For those who like to know these things, the story is currently about 12 books long and will likely grow to about 15 before completion. I will very likely write more in the same universe after that, though I will be letting my Patrons help with that decision. Release schedule: [Fri and Sun] Roughly 22:00  - On Patron [Fr,Sa,Su] Books one, two, and three have been stubbed! They are now on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! More books will be removed as they are released. Future chapters will still be released on RoyalRoad first. The Audiobook for book one is also finally up! I am still a non-native English speaker (hard to change), so even with the edits and rewrites, you might find some oddities. Let me know, and I'll fix them right up.
