Publisher's Summary

As the Uncrowned King tournament reaches its final rounds, tensions between the competing factions are higher than ever. The outcome may determine the power balance throughout the rest of the world.

Each Monarch schemes to seize any advantage they can...while far away, a Dreadgod stirs.

When the tournament ends, the Dreadgod will rise. Whether it will be driven back into the sea or allowed to rampage depends on the Monarchs.

And on which of them is left standing.

Starts well, ends better

Everyone’s story moves forward, and with some very unexpected developments. I love a tale I can’t predict. This kept my attention so well, it didn’t even occur to me to wonder what would happen next. Thanks Will!

How is it the best one yet?

Damn near speechless. I thought since it was a while since i read the last one my love for the series would have faded. But it was rekindled and burning brighter than ever in the first few minutes. I don't know how he does it, but Will Wight takes what SHOULD be a complicated magic system, and what SHOULD be complicated fights and makes them remarkably easy to follow and visualize. Every tail swipe, every laser beam, every sword slash. The narrator also does a fantastic job at voicing the different characters and their attributes. Will if your reading this, take some time off see some family,celebrate the success of this book, and then PLEASE start the next book. Because until then im unsouled.

Easily the best book in the series

After Uncrowned I didnt think the next one could top it, but it certainly does so. Incredibly excited for the next one. Travis Baldree as always does a spectacular performance.

Will Wight has done it again. The only thing I have to complain about is that it's over

Summoning the Book Icon

Out of all the Cradle books, this one has had the best fighting, progression, character development, pacing, and awesome world building. I’m already hoping Will is working on the next one.

Best book by far

The last book felt lacking in the progression and substance departments compared to his previous works but this thing. It’s a masterpiece, good side story of the main characters, great fights and progression. Couldn’t have asked for more from Will with this book bravo good sir.

Monarch Level

This book was written by a man who touched the Literature Icon.The only thing I don't like about this book is that it ended. Will needs to be less cut happy in the future if he thinks any part of this book wasn't good enough to make it to monarch.

Absolute masterpiece

I have always viewed authors as simply storytellers or creative people. This book led me to an epiphany. Authors, or at minimum Will Wight, are artists. The story written by Will and read by Travis Baldree is an absolute masterpiece. It seems that I rate every new book in this series as better than the last. This series is simply incredible. Even at full price, this series is a must read. I'm in awe. Utterly incredible, gentlemen. Well done.

BUY BUY BUY!!!!

It was fantastic I loved every second. and we finally had a end to the cliffhanger from the last book. The story over all was amazing the growth of the characters was beyond what I had expected. I would highly recommend to get this book you will not regret it.

It’s missing one very important factor

I still want the Ziel Pokémon story, other than that I absolutely loved this book, so many plot lines got followed through and it just keeps getting better!
