Shadowstrike (The Great Hearts #3)

The Academy is at war.

Having survived the early years of the Academy, Calidan Darkheart has proven his strength and skill. Now faced with a new challenge, mastering the mysterious abilities of seraph, and with a swathe of murders cutting through the empire, he must learn to adapt, and quickly.

For the dark holds many dangers and the night is closing in.

Calidan the Imperator has sworn to save Cassius from his afflictions and destroy the Emperor. He pushes on to lands unknown, hoping to find someone, anyone, who can assist in his endeavor.

But what if the cure is worse than the disease?

David Oliver’s third 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.
