Monster and Apprentice, (Audiobook)

<p><b>After a life on the streets Rolan is chosen to apprentice under a feared monster hunter to slay Cryptics--deadly magical creatures born of secrets in this middle grade fantasy perfect for fans of <i>Witcher</i> and <i>Demon Slayer</i>.</b> </p><p>Rolan Strider has never belonged--not at school, not in the city of Crisanth, and definitely not in the life of his crime-lord father. So when he's caught vandalizing one of the city's lanterns--a serious offense in a world where darkness breeds monsters--he expects prison. Instead, he's claimed by the Arcanist, a legendary warrior who hunts Cryptics: terrifying creatures born from the secrets people hide. </p><p>Dragged beyond the safety of the city, Rolan is forced to train under Luc's harsh guidance--learning to read, fight, and wield Arcana, the strange power drawn from slain Cryptics. And for the first time, Rolan begins to feel at home. </p><p>But the beast Luc has been hunting for years is closer than Rolan ever imagined--and tied to his own past in ways that could destroy them both. </p><p>To survive, Rolan must face the truth, wield the power of the very secrets he fears, and decide who he wants to be in this action-packed adventure: an outlaw, a hero...or something else entirely.</p>
