In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.

Threshold Now Available for Everyone!

1/7/2025

23 Comments

 
What is “Threshold,” you ask? It’s the entrance to a house or building, but that’s not important right now. It’s also the collection of short stories set before, during, and after (but mostly after) the events of the Cradle series!

You may have already read it, if you bought it during our Kickstarter promo last year or if you’re from the future, but if you don’t fall into either of those categories…now’s your chance!

This collection is available in ebook, audio, and paperback (but if you’re buying the paperback, read the SPECIAL PAPERBACK NOTE at the bottom of this post first).*

So go, be free! Read about all the extracurricular adventures the cast is getting up to outside of the plot!

Also, for those of you who read the first version, I’ve fixed a few of the errors you were kind enough to point out. So thanks for doing that! Now small children will stop throwing stones at me in the streets to punish me for my failures.

Links for you and your most special friends:

​Audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/Threshold-Audiobook/B0DN34J845

Ebook and 6x9 Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNKD1JGN 

​And thanks for reading!
-Will

*SPECIAL PAPERBACK NOTE FOR SPECIAL PAPERBACK PEOPLE: the paperback edition we have right now measures 6 inches by 9 inches, which is relatively big.

If you bought your books before March 2023 (just before Waybound), you probably have the smaller size, which is 5 inches by 8 inches. Later this month, we’ll release a 5”x8” version so you can have a copy that matches your set and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We didn’t want to swap sizes mid-series either.

Trying to put young entrepreneurs out of work. Kids, you keep doing your thing and before long you’ll find you can throw bigger and bigger stones. #neverstopdoingwhatyoulove

Are there any plans to create a compilation version of the Cradle books that include the newsletter story, Kickstarter bonus scenes, and Threshold stories in chronological and/or thematic order?

Can anyone help me get the paperback in the UK. I can't find an option on UK Amazon for the physical version.

If we already got Threshold through the Kickstarter, is there a way to get the updated epub with the fixes mentioned?

Hi Will,
We are big fans of your work here in France and we were wondering if there is any plan to have the Cradle series (and more!) translated in French anytime soon?

Many thanks and a baguette, ofc ^_^

J'ai essayé de convaincre ma femme de le traduire car elle est française, mais elle travaille pour Amazon et a donc moins 53 heures par semaine pour faire ses choses personnelles.

J'avoue avoir été tentée de le traduire moi-même mais c'est un gros travail et moi aussi j'ai de longues semaines ;-)
I guess we'll have to keep enticing our kids and friends with the sheer awesomness of the Cradle serie until they decide to pump up their English skills!

Huge fan! Loved Threshold! Wondering when to expect Last Horizon novel? I could imagine you have quite a lot going on at present, but I hope they are still coming. Are they??

I'm surprised this is only available in ebook format by signing up for Kindle Unlimited. What about people who want to read this without signing up for a monthly charge?

So... I've taken a few years off asking for this since Cradle was so good, but are we still getting that House of Blades sequel series?

I'm rereading the House of Blades series right now. I didn't realize a sequel series was ever a possibility, and I would love that!

I really hope we can see a “Reaper Division” series sometime in the future to explore their adventures and interactions with the rest of the Abidan/Vroshir. Really loving these short stories in Threshold!

If this has been talked about in previous posts, apologies for missing it.

I’m halfway through and can’t get enough of it! Thanks Will! Please continue the short stories! It’s a great format that pulls us back into Cradle while we wait for your next series’ books. All hail the Spider Goddess, Mul’Tanak!

"We didn’t want to swap sizes mid-series either"...

MID-series? Is this an unintentional leak that the Cradle series has many more books to come? Hmm???
