Cardboard Gods is the memoir of Josh Wilker, a brilliant writer who has marked the stages of his life through the baseball cards he collected as a child. It also captures the experience of growing up obsessed with baseball cards and explores what it means to be a fan of the game. Along the way, as we get to know Josh, his family, and his friends, we also get Josh’s classic observations about the central artifacts from his life: the baseball cards themselves.

emerges to claim his place and destiny as Warhawk's Heir. Guided by Mrillis and
Meghianna, supported by his foster-brother, Lycen, Meghianna's adopted son, he
tries to hold the alliance together as rebels and traitors fight for dominance.
Young love turns to betrayal and loss, made worse by the political games of
court and a growing schism between Noveni and Rey'kil.
When Athrar finds his soul-mate,
traitors and politics try to tear them apart, and magic tries to force her to
betray him with Lycen. A new prophecy emerges, speaking of the Lady Warhawk,
promising sorrow and hope for the future–even as the Nameless One emerges from
hiding and begins his final campaign of destruction. Mrillis and Meghianna risk
all to protect the defenseless thousands who have fled to Moerta, and in so
doing lock the defenders in with their enemy, for all time. Only the Lady
Warhawk will hold the key to the future, and to freedom.
