The ninth volume in the New York Times best-selling Cradle series!

It's time to go back home.

In the years since Lindon left Sacred Valley he has attained power beyond anything his family thought possible. Now he'll have to put those powers to the test because a Dreadgod is on its way.

Lindon and his allies set out to evacuate the valley before the arrival of the Wandering Titan but their sacred arts are weakened by an ancient curse. They'll have to persuade the squabbling inhabitants of Sacred Valley to leave behind their home and set off into the outside world.

But it has been a long time since Lindon left and more has changed than he realized.

He has always sought power to save his family...but now he might be too late.

Series Description

The Cradle series is a completed 12 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 where the 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.
