Apotheosis (The Great Hearts #4)

There's no rest for the wicked.

The Hrudan are gathering in the north and a spike in monster attacks throughout the empire has the Academy worried and Calidan exhausted. Training to be a monster-hunter under Sarrenai, he and Cassius must learn, and learn fast, because there are a whole lot of monsters and only so many hunters to go around.
With a whole new breed of enemy on the horizon, will Calidan gain the skills he needs in time to protect himself, his loved ones, and his empire?

Beholden to the Wanderer, how far will Calidan the Imperator go to save both Cassius and Seya? Because robbing a god certainly doesn't seem healthy.

David Oliver’s fourth novel in the Great Hearts series continues the dual adventures of past and present day Calidan, following the protagonist’s journey from earnest youth to a cold and forbidding Imperator.
Brutal combat, terrifying magics, dark secrets and the antics of a certain panther lay within.
