Publisher's summary

The thrilling prequel to the New York Times best-selling Summoner series!

When stable boy Arcturus accidentally summons a demon and becomes Hominum's first common summoner, he becomes the key to a secret that the powerful overlords would do anything to keep hidden.

Whisked away to Vocans Academy so he can be kept watch over, Arcturus finds himself surrounded by enemies. But he has little time to settle in before his life is turned upside down once again, for Hominum Empire is in turmoil.

Rebellious intent simmers among the masses, and it will not be long before it boils over. Arcturus must choose a side...or watch an empire crumble.

Eh.... We've done this before.

I feel like this is just a book to justify relationships and canonically clarify some worldbuilding that was previously left unclear. The story is fine, but we've done this all before.

Great addition to the series

I love this prequel to the Summoner series. I think this may be my second favorite book in the entire series. The story follows Arcturus in his early days as a Novice summoner at Vocans Academy. Love It!!!

Great addition

I was worried about reading a “prequel” but the story was great. Love the writer and the narrator brought the story to life in a way that grabs you from the beginning!

No what I expected

Overall it was a good book but I was expecting something else when I bought it. It is not a continuation of the previous set but a new story.
