Skysworn

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

With his duel fast approaching, Lindon is locked away in prison. As a Blackflame, he is too dangerous to remain free. The Skysworn, protectors of the Empire, have imprisoned him to keep him under control until the day of his promised fight arrives. When it does, he will face Jai Long.

But a new danger approaches the Empire, closer every day. A legendary creature of impossible size and an endless thirst for blood. A Dreadgod.

Only the Skysworn stand between the people of the land and total annihilation. And Lindon may be forced to join them.

Skysworn is part of a rich and thrilling series known for its high-stakes, fast-paced, and action-focused narrative. The Cradle series, a completed 12 volume set, is now being published in trade paperback and trade hardcover for the first time. It exemplifies the best-selling Progression Fantasy subgenre, characterised by a main plot focusing on a character growing more powerful in their use of magic.

Cradle is often compared to anime, with fans highlighting its signature style of loud and colourful super-powered battles, blended with plenty of humour.
