"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
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 Witcher and Demon Slayer.
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 terrifying creatures born from the secrets people hide.
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.
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.
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 an outlaw, a hero…or something else entirely.
