About this listen

The highly anticipated prequel to the New York Times best-selling Summoner trilogy.

Arcturus is just an orphaned stable boy when he accidentally summons a demon. As Hominum's first common summoner, he becomes the key to a secret that the powerful nobility would do anything to keep hidden.

He is immediately whisked away to Vocans Academy, where the lost arts of summoning, spell craft and demonology are taught to the noble children of the Empire. In no time Arcturus finds himself surrounded by enemies as noble teachers and students question his right to be there.

But before he can even attempt to make friends, his life is turned upside down once again, for the Empire is in turmoil. Rebellion is simmering among the masses, and it will not be long before it boils over. Arcturus must choose a side...or watch the Empire crumble.

Set before the events of Summoner: The Novice, this is the perfect introduction to the Summoner series.

This was a really enjoyable book but I do kind of wish I had listened to it before the rest of the series which were really great. This book is a prequel and very much does lead into the other 3 books. It’s a great stand alone book but I think it would be even better if you listen to this before moving onto the Summoner books 1-3. Great narrator in all 4 of these books, I just wish there were more of them. 😊

Grabbed next in series not realising it was a prequel centring around Arcturus, might have missed a good read if I did.
