As the Uncrowned King tournament reaches its final rounds, tensions between the competing factions are higher than ever. The outcome may determine the power balance throughout the rest of the world.

Each Monarch schemes to seize any advantage they can...while far away, a Dreadgod stirs.

When the tournament ends, the Dreadgod will rise. Whether it will be driven back into the sea or allowed to rampage depends on the Monarchs.

And on which of them is left standing.

Review of 'Wintersteel' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

At some point I'll write a full review on this. For now, I can only say that this was an amazing read. Previously, Underlord had been my favorite of the Cradle series, mostly because of the wonderful character development in that novel. But Wintersteel now competes for that position. I'd say the character development in Underlord is still the best in the series, but Wintersteel edges it out for the top slot because not only does it have really great character development, but we have incredible action sequences, we learn more about the world and the sacred arts, and the end of the book is filled with "Wow!" or "Oh yeah!" moments. It's fantastic. If you haven't read it yet, you need to. If you haven't started the Cradle series at all yet...what are you waiting for?!
