Jack of Fables: The Deluxe Edition #3

In "Baby Steps along the Glory Road – The New Adventures of Jack and Jack, Part 2 of 4," Jack and Gary press on through a world that keeps growing stranger, as Jack’s own size shifts in ways that defy the ordinary. Meanwhile, Jack Frost and MacDuff take on a new mission, hired by Miss Fen to protect her father’s home from the dangerous forces lurking in the surrounding woods.

In "Twice the Hero - The New Adventures of Jack and Jack, Part 3 of 4," Jack Frost finds himself trapped with Elsa and MacDuff, forced to strike a dangerous bargain with the Night Walkers’ King: defeat the Sorcerer manipulating them or see his allies remain captive. As the stakes rise, Jack Horner’s transformation reaches a pivotal moment, pushing the fate of the story into uncharted territory.

In "Castling - Kings of Earth and Sky, Part Two of Five," Jack Frost returns to the city with the Fulminate Blade, reveling in his freedom before uncovering a dangerous conspiracy. As he narrowly escapes assassination, his defiance leads to capture by the King—setting the stage for a high-stakes clash of wills in a world where power and deception are the only constants.

In "Lessons Learned, Some More Enjoyable Than Others," Jack of Fables finds himself caught between the King’s court and an ancient, looming threat—the Empyrean. With Deirdre’s guidance, he escapes captivity, rallies the people by freeing a destined tribute, and readies himself for a confrontation that will test every trick and truth he’s ever known.

In "Skyward Wolves - Kings of Earth and Sky, Part Four of Five," Jack, Deirdre, and MacDuff find themselves stranded after their ship is destroyed and their crew betrays them. Forced to flee through treacherous skies, they reach the floating realm of the Welkin, the Empyrean’s domain, where they must confront the enigmatic ruler who holds the fate of both earth and sky in their hands.

In "Empyrean - Kings of Earth and Sky, Part Five of Five," Jack faces off against the Empyrean in a climactic showdown that upends everything he thought he knew. With the King's deception exposed, Jack must decide what justice looks like when the truth is more tangled than any fairy tale.

In a secret library hidden among the stacks, the Page Sisters hunt for the legendary lost "Four Little Pigs" book, unaware of the chaos their discovery might unleash. Meanwhile, Jack and MacDuff, ready to hang up their swords, find themselves drawn back into adventure when a dragon's roar calls them to arms. The fate of fairy tales—and a few very flustered librarians—hangs in the balance.

In "Dragonslayer! The Second Ingredient in the Ultimate Jack of Fables Story!", Jack Frost and MacDuff take up the perilous task of slaying a dragon, while the Page sisters search for Gladys Winchell, the mysterious donor of the "Four Little Pigs" to the library. Sam is unexpectedly drawn back into the chaos, and the escaped inmates from Golden Boughs are discovered running a roadside diner—just as the adventure takes a turn neither expected.

In "The Impaled Wild Man! The Third Ingredient in the Most Unabashedly Genius Jack of Fables Story in Human History!", the fragile peace of the Fables' world cracks when tourists provoke the Impaled Wild Man beyond reason. Meanwhile, Sam takes on an unexpected babysitting duty with the Page Sisters, Raven grapples with a vision from his spirit guide that calls for the diner staff to flee, and Jack Frost prepares to face the Dragon—only to find the beast already aware of his arrival.

In a tale that weaves together whimsy and wonder, Jack Horner’s unexpected journey into Canada sets off a chain of events that draws together Jack Frost, the Page sisters, and Raven’s group as they each follow their own paths through Manitoba. As their separate quests converge at the mysterious cave of Jack Dragon and Sam, the true nature of the fourth essential component begins to unfold—though what it truly means remains shrouded in enchantment.
