The third volume in the New York Timesbest-selling Cradle series!

Lindon has a year left.

When his time runs out, he'll have to fight an opponent that no one believes he can beat. Unless he learns the magic of the sacred arts the right way, from scratch, he won't have a chance to win...and even then, the odds are against him.

In the course of their training, Lindon and Yerin travel to the Blackflame Empire, where they struggle to master an ancient power.

Success means a chance at life, but failure means death.

In the sacred arts, only those who risk the most can travel far.

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 Blackflame

Blockbuster Fantasy at its Best Blackflame is an incredible fusion of eastern and western ideas. In the third installment of Will Wight’s Cradle series it’s obvious that the author not only loves this world and the characters but is also comfortable enough with them to truly begin spreading his wings. Whether you are a fan of xianxia tales or a complete newbie to the subgenre, Blackflame will entertain you and make you love the characters Wight has crafted. -- Calvin Park Words are insufficient to describe how wonderful this entire series is.  I can not ever remember a series of books which resonated with me as all of the Cradle books have. And the latest, BlackFlame, is no exception. Will Wight is the Clive Cussler of Fantasy. His books come out at a fairly quick pace, they are a fun and fast read, and his characters feel like they are someone who you WANT to know. -- Krisk The best yet In my opinion, Blackflame is the pinnacle of the Cradle books so far. Everything that made the previous books great is here, and it's turned up to eleven. Wight's world-building is unparalleled, matched only by his character development and one of the best magic systems I've read in years. If you've read his work before, you know what you're in for. If not, buckle down and start in on Unsouled, because this is a story you won't want to miss. -- Sheathd427
