Part of Cradle, book 11
First published 2022
Lindon has made himself a target. The heavenly battle marked him for death, his strongest ally has vanished, and the Monarchs view him as a dangerous threat. He now controls one of Cradle's most coveted resources, making him a prize worth killing. His enemies circle closer, ready to unite against him. Then the Dreadgods wake. All four ancient terrors break free and tear across Cradle with renewed strength. Old hatreds must wait. The Monarchs need every warrior they can find to protect their domains, even Lindon. This gives him the breathing room he desperately needs. While Lindon fights the immediate crisis, he sends his companions away to train. They must grow stronger at an impossible pace if they hope to stand beside him against Cradle's rulers. The coming war will demand strength to match a Dreadgod itself.
