The final book in the New York Times best-selling Cradle series! Years ago Lindon left his home as a powerless Unsouled. Now he goes to war with the most powerful beings in the world over the future of Cradle itself. The Weeping Dragon has a grudge to settle and Lindon intends to take out the Dreadgod with his friends by his side. But rival Monarchs know his plans and they won't let things end so easily. If Lindon does win he will ascend to the heavens. But he may not find a safe haven there either. In the worlds above Suriel and Ozriel face off against the Mad King to determine the new shape of the cosmos. The victor will decide the fate of countless universes. Whether he wins or dies Lindon will soon leave this life behind. The time has come to say good-bye to Cradle. Series Description The Cradle series is a completed twelve-volume series now being published in trade paperback and trade hardcover for the first time. It is the best-selling example of the Progression Fantasy subgenre, which includes works of fantasy whose primary plot revolves around a character growing more powerful in their use of magic. Cradle is high-stakes, fast-paced, and action-focused, with minimal time dedicated to world-building, and as such the books are lean and focused. The series is often compared to anime, with fans emphasizing the story's specialty of loud and colorful super-powered battles along with lots of humor.
