He is capable of summoning the demons but is he capable enough to win a war?
Fletcher was working in the capacity of a blacksmith apprentice. In that time, he found that he had some unique abilities. That ability allowed him to summon the demons coming from some other world.
Fletcher was chased down for a crime in which he was never involved. He must look to travel ahead with Ignatius, his demon. The destination would be an academy for the adepts. It was a place where all the gifted individuals were made to learn the great art of summoning.
The concept of this book is very interesting but you will, later on, find it filled with stereotypes and bits of contrived racism as well. The characters lacked depth. This is not one of the best works of Taran Matharu.
