Stealth Post: Uncrowned Description

9/4/2019

Emriss Silentborn, Memory of the World.
Tiberian Arelius, the fallen Patriarch.
Akura Malice, Queen of Shadows.
Seshethkunaaz, King of Dragons.
Reigan Shen, Emperor of Lions.
Luminous Queen Sha Miara.
The Eight-Man Empire.
Northstrider.

The Monarchs, the most powerful sacred artists on Cradle, rule with unquestioned authority. They are mysterious and distant, and catching a glimpse of one is privilege enough for a lifetime.

Now, they have all gathered in one place, bringing their heirs and greatest students together for a competition to determine whose successor is the best in the world:

The Uncrowned King tournament.

You can send me $100 if you want. I'd be happy to send you an NDA :P

You know, I didn't know I was looking forward to this, stealthy one...

I literally read so fast that I thought it said, "bringing their hens and greatest students". For a while there, I was pretty stoked about the possibility of the Uncrowned tournament being a cockfight.... alas...

You're right, that's a typo, it should be "bringing their roosters and greatest students."

I'll change it.

Emmanuel

Honestly I'd read that

Kaileonis

By any chance any of those have a Rooster/Hen as a gold sign? LoL

OPG

Uncrowned King tournament more like Uncrowned cock-fight

Danillo

You should definitely have a parallel universe iteration 52: Coop. All the Cradle characters would be hens and roosters, fighting the Uncombed tournament...
When this blows up bigger than Cradle, just don't forget me.

@WILL
Pls tell me the date on Amazon is also a typo and the book comes out on 16 not 26.

9/4/2019 09:24:36 am

Release date when!?!?!?! Hype is too real.

Jeremiah

9/4/2019 09:35:02 am

We shall know on the morrow!

Bill

Really?? That confirmed?

I am literally crying

CORRECTION: I initially wrote "Gaien Arelius," but the Arelius Monarch is named Tiberian.

This is what I get for typing it out manually instead of copying-and-pasting. I deserve this shame.

I don't think you've ever put "Tiberian" anywhere in the books yet. I definitely wouldn't have noticed before the book coming out and so distracted by the release at that point.

XYZ

9/5/2019 07:24:28 am

Somehow Gaien sounds better

dyring

9/6/2019 12:53:22 am

Gaien was the blackflame Arelius patriarch before Eithan came(and again I guess) wasent he?
Cassias father?

Propably why it sounds better. Already heard it ;)

OPG

9/4/2019 10:57:18 am

Wait, if it's a stealth post why does the title announce that it's a stealth post?

shantanu

9/4/2019 02:53:06 pm

Maybe the stealthy secret is hidden somewhere in the post? ;)

This is great news! It really, really is. But I'm probably the only one who was hoping for both OKAK stories to be released first. Maybe it still will be and the preorder is a clever ruse, a distraction if you will. Maybe Calder really will battle Lindon because they are both Uncrowned.

You are not alone!

There are many of us lurking in the shadows waiting on the Elderitch monsters to have their day!

I was actually suprised when i read in the last book that the aurelius had a monarch, not just the sage of the thousand eyes (wich Eithan thought might be dead). Now they are both dead? I hope we get some insight.

By the way: " a competition to determine whose successor is the best in the world"

What happens if its not ones successor but a pesky black flame user or some sword swinging lass from nowhere? xD

Honourgaurd

9/5/2019 02:08:07 am

U r confusing me I thought that only the monarch was dead and not the sage

Drake

9/5/2019 03:41:20 pm

If the Sage of a Thousand Eyes was still alive after all this time, then she was much wiser than he had given her credit for. Or she'd found a powerful ally. Somewhere.

Wight, Will. Skysworn (Cradle Book 4) .

Wich was the reason why i was confused. Why mention the sage when there was a monarch? ^_^

Aaron

Exactly what time/time zone will the preorder begin at? I’m gonna sit at my desk and refresh all the tabs until it lets me buy the book

Will link

9/4/2019 06:47:07 pm

I'm honestly not sure; I uploaded the file just now, but it depends on how quickly Amazon approves and posts it.

9/13/2019 09:03:36 am

I don't know how to code and/or hack. But I've finally gotten the motivation to learn

Dude from Oz

9/4/2019 02:55:21 pm

Well it’s been the 5th for nearly 8 hours now and no pre-order. I think I am confusing my kindle refreshing the store. I hoped to beat you all with the time zone. Alas it was not to be. Drat!

Random thoughts!
Netflix series ( maybe animated Avatar style) or
Live series like the movie style IP Man. Thoughts??

Matt S.

9/7/2019 10:40:42 pm

Animated. Think the visuals would come across better.

Avinash

9/4/2019 04:57:48 pm

All the monarch are introduced with their Titles and whatnot

King/Queen of this
Memory of that

And then there's

NORTHSTRIDER

Bus naam hi kaafi hai.
tl:(Just the name says it all)

9/4/2019 07:12:43 pm

So... The arelius monarch is alive? or..

Monster

9/5/2019 02:25:37 pm

No it says many times that the Monarch has died. It says at the end of Underlord that the Arelius clan was mourning the loss of its Monarch and was deciding wether to join the tournament.

Cookies!!

9/12/2019 05:42:39 pm

Loss doesn't always mean death

Did someone say preorder

9/4/2019 08:24:17 pm

It's up on Amazon now! And now that I know the release date, time to schedule my re read of the series!

Adarsh

9/4/2019 09:09:24 pm

I think the blurb would flow better if instead of "The Uncrowned King tournament" it was "The tournament of the Uncrowned King"

IDon’tKnowFish

9/4/2019 09:13:29 pm

I waited until 12:00 am, hoping to know the time. Who cares if school is starting tomorrow, this book is more important than my sleep

Kaileonis

9/4/2019 10:00:44 pm

So its on September 26 publication??? Sweet!

Patrick

9/4/2019 10:34:25 pm

Vishal

9/5/2019 05:14:52 am
