Uncrowned Cover

8/31/2019

Here, for the first time, I reveal to you the cover of Cradle 7: Uncrowned. Take a moment, scroll down, and bask in its glory. Bask, I say!

Once you're done basking, scroll back up, because I have news.

This coming Thursday, September 5th, the Uncrowned ebook will be available for pre-order! (We're hoping to have the audio version releasing at the same time as the ebook, but audio pre-orders are weird, so it won't go up for pre-order at the same time.)

To celebrate this launch and of course DragonCon (which is where I currently am, by the way), there's a sale for 10% off all Cradle merchandise now through September 7th! Grab that Orthos T-shirt you didn't know you needed in your life!

Is that enough? No, it isn't. So Cradle: Foundation will also be going on sale for free tonight for five days! Let the sky rain Cradle!

...and you'll notice that there's one key piece of information left out of this blog: how long is the pre-order? When will the book actually be released!

Good question! Find out soon!

-Will

Well, you can be sure I'm preordering the HELL out of that! Will Eithan and Lindon face off? WILL YERIN AND BLERIN FALL IN LOVE? WILL SUE EVER MEET THE MYSTERIOUS LOVER SHE DREAMS ABOUT? Found out in.... UNCROWNED!

So this comment made me think and it's now my headcanon that Suu already has a lover. That Harmony's axe was given to him because he was supposed to marry Mercy and the two weapons are bonded. It's silly but it's all your fault lol

8/31/2019 02:47:40 pm

That's right, it's Suu. MY BAD. To be honest though, I'm pretty happy this spawned headcanon because that's what every person strives to achieve!

I actually think it would be hilarious and amazing if the first major romance written in Will's books is about two sentient weapons.

I know that Suu is alive and sentient but when was there any mention of Harmonys axe being self aware?

I don't know, this does look pretty legit.

Hmm two Wills. The only way to prove yourself authentic is to answer this question that only the REAL Will would know!

Without Googling, what movie is this quote from: “Last of the red hot swamis!”

This made me so happy! Seriously, I have never bothered following book blogs and have been reading fantasy for 20 years. Will, you are a champ, thanks for being such a bloody hard worker. You are an absolutely legendary author. Thanks mate. Can't wait for Uncrowned!!!!

I'm sorry, but I can't un-see the symbol on the flag as Cartman from South Park.

w-why... why would you do this to me?

Michael Haedt

8/31/2019 05:39:46 pm

Does pre-ordering give you any benefit Will? As a rule I normally do not because it used to mess up the order and actually would delay me getting the book. Willing to risk it if it does literally anything for you.

PoShui

8/31/2019 09:19:32 pm

I have had that happen but for the last year or more I have been getting them earlier like 4-8 hours earlier than listed but most of the time it midnight of the day give or take your timezone.

Lashan

9/1/2019 05:22:36 pm

Yup last time pre-order was faster unless you have a secondary
Aussie kindle account.

8/31/2019 05:55:28 pm

Can I pre order the pre-order? Maybe pre order the rest of the series? I’ll just pay for them all now...I also have a 401k I can sign over and although I don’t yet have a child I offer my first born as well

8/31/2019 10:05:48 pm

Yup, I give all Marcuses firstborns for Uncrowned triple-down Pre pre Order for the rest of the series. ( I would only wait for the side series : Basking with Orthos.)

September 5th is, no joke, my birthday, so that you so much for the present. I hadn't realized I meant so you that you would gift me with the most glorious of all gifts: a new cradle book!

*thank blah.
Kindles are great for many things, but typing is not among them.

Nerevar

Awesome news, time to gear up.
Unfortunately bloody Amazon blocked my kindle cuz it wasnt registered in a few years and wont take the block down so the question is hardcover with some delay, or instant read upon release but scrolling on PC... ;/

Soggy Fruit

9/2/2019 01:51:10 pm

You could always download the kindle app on your smartphone. I haven’t used an actual kindle device in years.

9/3/2019 11:09:03 am

Oh I might give it a go. Tho i really like my kindle, its good on the eyes, but is there a catch, must i connect my advice to my phone or some such thing to view it on phone?
It seems like a best option, if it fails ill just use PC :/.

Thx for advice!

I'm 30 in a couple of weeks and get married on the 22nd and this is still the thing I'm most looking forward to. Cannot wait.

9/1/2019 10:32:51 am

Dont you usually release on 1st of month? So October right? Unless its a preorder thatw ill run for 2 to 3 months? LoL (*not* LoL)

Count De Monet

9/3/2019 11:02:16 pm

I am thinking it will be released October 1st in keeping with Will's track record of releasing books on the first of the month. Now there is a possibility that " Will legit" is really Will trolling us and thus the book comes out prior to October.

Hmm, when the pre- release goes live I believe it should give the actual release date.

Nathan

9/2/2019 03:23:13 am

These series was the only thing that kept me from lifting in the gym! It would be great if its release will be on 16. Just hope “will legit” is the real thing though

First time ever that I follow an author like that. In general I deplore such fan-boyism.

But having read the trilogy (THAT WAS TOO SHORT OMFG) of the "House of Blades" and all the six books from the Cradle series (which, by the way, I was referenced by the Owner of Wuxiaworld.com, since I love to read chinese webnovels, although I'm into some western webnovels as well, such as "A Practical Guide to Evil").

Having said that, I have to say I'm frankly excited about the new book, and you are an excellent writer in my opinion (and believe me, the first word I spoke was "read" as a baby - in portuguese -, so I believe I can say a bit about the subject).

Keep them coming my way, kind sir.

Wow that looks amazing what date does uncrowded come out on.

Trmptplyr07

9/2/2019 07:21:17 pm

The only thing I'm worried/curious about is how far the book's going to go in the story. Will the year long training be montage? Or will the Tournament be glossed over in order to shorten it? How much Orthos and Kelsa action will there be in the story? As much as I love the books I feel that they're too short in order to accommodate another story line. Additionally, the amount of story development possibilities involving a grumpy/slightly hostile Akura clan and a year's worth of Sage grade Training. Lindon and Pride are bound to be rivals. If that is flushed out then there's no time for the Tournament. But if the Tournament is flushed out then the training montage is being sacrificed.

Arrddvark

9/2/2019 07:51:21 pm

This book better be a thousand pages or I will cry

9/2/2019 08:01:24 pm

Honestly I hope that the title is misleading. I hope that they focus on the Training time period and their development and character growth. And Just Arrive at the Tournament at the end of the book. I'm also Hoping for an epic final tournament battle between Lindon and Ethan, with Yerin and Mercy taking a 3rd and 4th place.

Ardvark

9/3/2019 07:04:33 am

Trmptplyr07 the title wont be misleading the word "uncrowned" is in the name of the tournament sorry I cant remember its exact name... but that's why it is the title of the book .. because the book will be about the tournament lol

9/3/2019 09:01:09 pm

My identity is being stolen. In the face of my greatest enemy, Ardvark, I am powerless. There is nothing I can do, as he is taking my name, my life, and my power. Please lend me strength, o great Will, and let me defeat this adversary!

9/3/2019 10:53:36 pm

Who knows, maybe Lindon and Pride will get along and start a bromance.

I am anxious too as far as ratios go. I don't want the training to be glossed over, I want the tournament to be in great detail, and all that while starting a new Kelsa/Orthos arc. How will Will fit all that in a short story?

DrunkDuck

9/3/2019 02:41:08 am

After consuming vol. 1-6 in no-time, I am so looking forward to book 7. Does pre-order in this case mean that I will receive it right away/ earlier?

Best,
Duck

Deadnettle

9/3/2019 03:31:39 pm

I don't think so. Last time he ran a pre-order it was just to test how it would affect his sales and we all still got it at the same time. I doubt it would be different this time around.

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

Couch De Monet

9/4/2019 08:02:25 pm

I could see it as live action on Netflix. Check out the movie "Swordmaster" on Netflix. Some of those fight scenes made me think of Cradle.

There's a new facebook group made by Tao Wong named "Cultivation novels" if you'd like to post your stuff on there, Will. Also, you might enjoy his series, The Thousand Li.
