Unsouled

The journey begins in the New York Times best-selling Cradle series!

In a world where magical prowess dictates one's status and destiny, young Wei Shi Lindon has been cast aside as "Unsouled"—the one in his family, and his entire clan, bereft of power to channel the sacred arts. This ostracisation, however, does not deter his spirit. Resourceful and determined, Lindon scours every corner of his life, utilizing any strategy he can learn to push against the destiny that seems to be laid out for him. His dreams of power and recognition teeter on the brink of impossibility, until an unexpected celestial event turns everything he knows on its head.

As the heavens reveal a dire prophecy of impending doom, Lindon becomes the only one who can perceive the looming fate that threatens his world. This revelation marks the turning point in his life, compelling him to embark on a perilous journey beyond the confines of his home. His quest is twofold: to avert disaster and to explore the boundaries of his potential by following a path uniquely his own. In this epic tale of courage and tenacity, Lindon challenges the limitations of an Unsouled, setting out to discover just how far his abilities can take him.
