The Great Hearts by David Oliver

What actions shape a person? Alters the trajectory of their life? For Calidan and Cassius, a night of fire and frenzy puts them on a journey of survival. Of loss.

Of revenge.

They’ve seen the darkest that the night has to offer and with the help of a creature beyond their understanding they strive to find their way in a new world, desperate to gain the strength needed to fulfil their mission. A strength that the Emperor will willingly provide.

But at what cost?

Calidan Darkheart has survived monsters, men and the first years of the Academy, but will he be able to survive a higher power than his own?

As a young student at the Academy and freshly dealing with the loss of a dear friend, Calidan must endure a new trial; one that will test every fibre of his being. If he survives, he will be forged into something new and be one step closer to his ultimate goal. Revenge.

Alone in the dark, Calidan the Imperator has so far managed to avoid the clutches of a rampaging beast but now seeks to escape and fulfil his lifelong dream. Intent on saving his best friend Cassius and heading deeper into the barren wastelands, he seeks a prey that will eclipse all others.

He might find that the reality is more than he can handle.
