Carter has been waiting his whole life for this moment: the Choosing Day ceremony where every young person receives their first magic card. When he unexpectedly bonds with a small, sarcastic fire dragonling named Magnus, Carter’s adventure begins in a world where magical creatures and wild powers are captured into living cards. But even before he learns how to use his first card, Carter finds himself in a surprise duel—and things escalate fast.

This is the first action-packed chapter of The Cards of Power, originally part of the podcast Dad’s Bedtime Stories for Kids. Each chapter is a thrilling, imaginative journey into a world of wild magic, creature duels, and card-based powers—perfect for fans of Pokémon, fantasy adventures, and high-stakes fun.

About The Podcast:

Kids won’t sleep? Want some time to yourself? This is how to make it happen! I make these bedtime stories up for my own children every night, so I figured I would record them. They are designed to give your child a simple, but somewhat interesting story to listen to. They are first person stories so kids can imagine themselves in the character’s shoes. They are mostly science fiction and fantasy based, because that’s what my kids like. Each episode is a 15-30 minute story followed by white noise to drown out distractions. The character always ends up back in bed, doing a short mindful relaxation exercise to help them off to sleep (if they aren’t there already). Get those kids to sleep!
