Adventure; Fantasy

The beginning of the New York Times best-selling Cradle series!

Lindon is born Unsouled, the one person in his family unable to use the magical Paths of the sacred arts. He uses every trick and technique he can borrow or steal to improve his life, but it seems he will never be able to join the ranks of the truly powerful.

Until the heavens descend and show him the future.

When Lindon becomes the only one who sees the approaching doom, he must leave his homeland to save it...and to see how far he can go by walking his own Path.

SERIES DESCRIPTION The Cradle series 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 using phrases like ""anime in book form"" or ""fantasy novels meet Dragon Ball Z,"" emphasizing the story's specialty of loud and colorful super-powered battles.

Reviews for Unsouled

Brandon Sanderson meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Unsouled is a kind of Brandon Sanderson meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wrapped in Naruto. If you’re looking for a non-western setting, this novel delivers in spades. -- Calvin Park Compelling Scale and Worldbuilding I was supremely compelled to finish Lindon's story, from his inciting incident all the way to the bombastic finish of book 1, and by the nature of Wight's writing style, I was supremely surprised to find myself at the end of his book in what felt like no time at all. -- Dominic Roemer The hero you didn't know you were looking for This is where Wight's world building truly shines, introducing us to a society where strength is held paramount and the weak are pushed aside. There were times when I couldn't breathe because I so desperately wanted Lindon to rise up and strike down those oppressing him or hurting him. And so, the reader experiences the same hunger for knowledge that Lindon does, partially because the story demands it and partially because you are cheering for Lindon in a way that surpasses what is rational for a character whose existence is limited to a Kindle device. When it comes to Lindon's success and ascension, Wight stokes a fire in his reader that makes it very difficult to stop reading. -- Meghan Remington
