Publisher's summary

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.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Best series and ending to a series…EVER

Will, there aren’t words. This whole series has brought me more joy than any books I’ve or series I’ve read. Waybound didn’t disappoint at all. This book is the perfect crescendo. It has the most closure. I was so worried I’d be sad that the series was over, but Will, you finished it so perfectly I was just left with peace and joy. Thank you for this series! Can’t wait to read your other works!

Felt a little rushed

Wasn’t expecting this to be the last book to be honest. It tied everything up and I was really sad to see it end, my only complaint is it seemed rushed toward ending it.

Can’t wait to ascend.

BEST ONE YET! Really hoping “the end of cradle” just means the beginning of “the grave series” or something. Honestly can say this is the best book series I have ever read. I love that the guy is powerful, yet humble. A true hero!

Cram packed

What a ride! This is by far one of my most favorite series. I can't believe there won't be any more new books in the series.

The culmination of 7 years

This series has been amazing, watching these characters and world grow as you follow them all come to a fantastic and satisfying ending. The best fantasy series I've ever read.

left a little Blue

I have enjoyed every book in this series and now that it has (spoilers,...........)


ended I am left a little blue. Excellent story telling in a truly imaginative world. Will Wright is, in my opinion, one of the best fantasy writers of our generation. I hope to see many more of his worlds come to life.

Excellent

Thank you for putting so much work into making this book an amazing conclusion to an amazing series. It’s always sad to say goodbye to characters you care about however you did it in a way that did all of them justice.

A satisfying and fitting end

Great one liners, and worth the wait. At last we see the path of one dream come to fruition in ways we did not expect
