Series Description

The Cradle series is a completed twelve-volume series now being published in trade paperback and trade hardcover for the first time. It is the best-selling example of the Progression Fantasy subgenre, which includes works of fantasy whose 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 emphasizing the story’s specialty of loud and colorful super-powered battles along with lots of humor.
