The Dragon Deals The Cards
by Klaudia Grady
In the hidden enclave of Castaway Camp, Mina's world is turned upside down when her son disappears without a trace. Desperate and determined, she embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim him. The price demanded by the kidnappers is steep: the ancient and powerful Dragon Cards, a cursed family heirloom.
With time ticking away, Mina must unravel the mysteries of her family's past to locate the elusive 53rd card, the key to her son's freedom. Along the way, she finds unlikely allies in a half-crazed ice dragon and a poetry-slinging gnome, both drawn into her quest by fate's intricate web.
Guided by the enigmatic power of the Dragon Cards and bolstered by newfound friendships, Mina navigates a treacherous world where danger lurks at every turn. As she races against the clock, Mina discovers that the true test of strength lies not only in her ability to wield magic but also in her capacity to trust in others.
In a world where supernatural forces clash and secrets lie buried beneath layers of deceit, Mina's courage and determination will be put to the ultimate test. With the fate of her son hanging in the balance, she must confront her darkest fears and embrace her destiny as she strives to bring him home to Castaway Camp.
