Shadow of the Holy Child

Secrets exposed. Enemies on all fronts. Time is racing away. Percy has finally fought his way free from his family's province, seizing a cache of elixirs and putting his next promotion within reach. That is, if he can get a chance to cleanse his cores while evading practically the entire population of the planet. What he needs more than anything else is time to advance and hone his magic. But a calm environment to work on himself is the one resource he doesn't have. The gods are after his knowledge, the nobles seek revenge, and a twisted Holy Child seems to be enjoying the chase way too much. Luckily, Percy knows the perfect place to claim all the time he needs: the Thirsty Valley—a supreme training ground created by the long-forgotten titan, Kronos. There, he can get a decade's worth of training in mere months. Which means... His best chance at powering up begins with breaking into the most heavily guarded region on Remior.
