Cradle is a New York Times best-selling series following a character's growth as he goes from one of the weakest users of his world's magic to among the strongest.
The series features an original magic system inspired by Chinese cultivation and martial arts novels, with a heavy emphasis on anime-style super-powered battles.

Series Length: 12 volumes, complete

The first two books in the series have been adapted into a feature-length animatic movie that is now free to watch on YouTube here! Learn more about the project here!
Cradle: Volume One
Cradle: Volume Two
Cradle: Volume Three

Wait, why do these books look different?

Because the ones above are the brand-new second editions! And the rest of the series will be getting new covers over the next year.
​But if you just can't wait, the first editions are still available.

How about some Cradle short stories?
