Fifteen years of horseshoes. That's what the Ironworkers' Guild gave Edric Thorne for his loyalty. Nails and brackets and applications denied, while smiths with half his skill climbed on politics he wouldn't play. A supply run goes sideways.

He had been the governor for nine hours, and two of those hours had been a nap. Edmund Hale was a mid-tier game designer in Toronto. He died on a Tuesday. He woke up on a Wednesday in someone else's body, in someone else's coat, in someone else's office, holding someone else's seal of authority over a sun-blasted British outpost called Saint Caro. The fort is undermanned. The garrison is half drunk. The treasury is a polite fiction. Three pirate captains want the harbor. A French squadron wants the island. A tax commissioner from London wants Edmund's head on a writ.

Leo wanted to make something out of himself—and build dams. However, the world doesn't want dams. And it mostly doesn't want civil engineers. It doesn't want men who do any sort of building or fighting or grand design, it seems. So, when Leo finds his current girlfriend and boss being threatened by a brutal loan shark and all three of them get dragged through a portal to another world, it doesn't take long for him to decide this is the place for him. Plus, everyone has magic, and who wouldn't want that?

Where power is measured in cards, Arthur stands among the elite as a Legendary card wielder now forever linked to a frighteningly powerful dragon. Or Brixaby will be once he grows from the size of a parrot. Before that can happen, a chance encounter whisks Arthur and Brixaby away to a place they never thought possible: A new dragon hive outside the kingdom. This Free Hive doesn't suffer from the scourge that's infected the rest of the planet. It's a place where crafting using card powers is king.
