Origins

Origins is a prequel which sets a befitting tone for the explosive new fantasy trilogy that is Summoner.

When Arcturus, an orphaned stable-boy, discovers he has the ability to summon demons from a different world, he is sent to Vocans Military Academy where the Empire's noble children are taught the lost arts of summoning, spell-craft and demonology.

With only the help of his demon Sacharissa, Arcturus is on a quest to prove himself as a worthy Summoner, seeing how being the first commoner to be gifted with the ability challenges the nobility…and the powers that be.

Summoner Series

The Novice

Fletcher works as a blacksmith's apprentice when he discovers he is gifted with the rare ability of summoning demons from another world. Banished from his village for a crime he didn’t commit, Fletcher travels with Ignatius- his demon- to an academy where the art of summoning is taught to the gifted.

Severe lessons prepare him to serve as a Battlemage in the Empire's war against the fiery Orcs, but new friendships are poisoned by sinister forces. Left with no one but Ignatius by his side, Fletcher has little option but to decide where his loyalties lie, for the entire fate of the Empire is in his hand.

The Inquisition

It’s been a year since the tournament, and Fletcher and Ignatius-who have been locked away in Pelt's dungeons-, must face trial at the hands of the Inquisition; a powerful institution under the authority of figures who would love nothing more than to see Fletcher's downfall.

Ghosts from the past haunt the trial by making shocking revelations about Fletcher's origins, but he has to focus on completing a dangerous mission for the king deep in the orc jungles.

With the assurance of Othello and Sylva’s friendship, Fletcher must save Hominum from destruction, or die trying…
