Reaper (Cradle Book 10)
Sacred Valley survives, though only just. With his home no longer under immediate threat, Lindon turns his attention to the ancient labyrinth buried beneath it, hunting for forgotten Soulsmithing secrets and, more urgently, a way to bring down the Dreadgods once and for all. Meanwhile, the Monarchs scheme against one another with the confidence of people who think they're the most dangerous thing in the room. They're wrong. Far beyond their awareness, something far worse is stirring. Above all the politics and power struggles, a separate conflict plays out on a grander scale entirely. Suriel and the Abidan are locked in brutal combat against the Mad King and his forces, fighting not for territory or pride, but for the survival of entire worlds. Cradle is just one of them. It's a bold structural choice from Wight, pulling the camera back to reveal just how small even the mightiest characters look against a cosmic backdrop. The tension between those intimate, personal stakes and the vast, almost incomprehensible scale of the wider war is where this tenth instalment earns its place in the series. Fans who've followed Lindon from the beginning will find plenty to keep them turning pages well past a sensible bedtime.
