Unsouled (Cradle, Book 1)

Lindon is born Unsouled, the one person in his family unable to use the magical Paths of the sacred arts. He uses every trick and technique he can borrow or steal to improve his life, but it seems he will never be able to join the ranks of the truly powerful. Until the heavens descend and show him the future. When Lindon becomes the only one who sees the approaching doom, he must leave his homeland to save it—and to see how far he can go when the only thing holding him back is himself. The first book in the New York Times bestselling Cradle series.
