The Cardist: A Novel of Hearth and Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992156713)

MAGICAL TRADING CARDS, MONSTERS, AND A BOOTY-SHAKING CORGI

After years of searching for purpose, Ethan Farris-Army veteran, husband, and father-heads into the wilderness for a much needed mental reset. Rather than the expected relaxing hike, he wakes up in a strange new world powered by magical trading cards, monsters lurking around every tree.

For a fantasy-obsessed card enthusiast, it's a dream come true. But this new realm is missing one critical thing: his family.

To survive, Ethan must adapt to the chaos of his new environment-battling dragons, hordes of monsters, and panic attacks alongside a corgi with an attitude-to find his way home... or redefine what "home" really means.

The Cardist is a contemporary fantasy adventure perfect for fans of emotionally grounded heroes who just want a moment to breathe, but not at the expense of what they value most. Packed with heart, humor, and a touch of child-like nostalgia, it's a character driven story of escape, connection, and second chances.
