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 Best Fantasy Audiobooks to Take You Out of This World


Few audiobooks provide as much of an escape as those in the fantasy genre. Each of the best introduces us to an entirely new world (or a new version of this one), a diverse cast of complexly constructed characters, and a story so mesmerizing we’re reluctant to return to real life. But because the genre is so full of talent, it can be difficult to know what to listen to next. Look no further than this list of the best fantasy audiobooks to get you started.

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.

Favorite Series

This is my favorite series of all time. I went back to reaper and read from their forward to remember the storyline. The narration and story is a perfect match. I am really looking forward to any other series to continue the story line of Lindon.

Baby's all grown up and left the cradle.

It's always sad to see a good series end, after all this time, but at the same time I'm glad it got a proper one. Another excellent narration by Travis and the end of Linden's journey, well, I get the feeling while this might be over, it won't be the final time we see Linden, considering the way is a multiverse of all will wight's books. At least I hope so lol

Excellent ending to a great epic story

First, Travis Baldree is the best narrator in the business and did a fantastic job again.

Second, buy the whole series. Start at the beginning, you won’t regret it. This book is the opposite of the last season of Lost or the last season of Game of Thrones. They made you wonder why you have invested so many years into the story. I was scared this book would be the same. Or that Will would kill everyone off. But he wrapped up the epic in a very satisfying way that left me sad to see them go but happy for their evolutions.
