A legendary power demands a deadly price . . .

Prepare to level up in Blackflame, the explosive LitRPG adventure and third instalment in Will Wight's bestselling Cradle series.

Lindon has less than a year left until the fight of his life. To resolve a lethal blood feud between rival clans, he's been forced into a high-profile duel against a vastly superior opponent. But no one believes such a low-ranking sacred artist can survive.

Under the unorthodox mentorship of Eithan Arelius, Lindon and his fellow student Yerin travel to the heart of the Blackflame Empire. There, he can prepare in secret for his impossible task. Lindon must risk bonding with a legendary creature - one who could grant him incredible destructive power. Yet this Path of Black Flame could also ravage his mind and consume his body. Success gives him a chance, but failure means certain death.

In the sacred arts, only those who risk all can travel far.

Blackflame is fast-paced, exhilarating and perfect for fans of Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl. Lindon's journey continues in Skysworn.
