SAMPLE OF PUBLISHED BOOK THAT WAS FIRST WRITTEN ON WATTPAD. Fletcher was nothing more than a humble blacksmith's apprentice, when a chance encounter leads to the discovery that he has the ability to summon demons from another world. Chased from his village for a crime he did not commit, he must travel with his demon to the Vocans Academy, where the gifted are trained in the art of summoning. The academy will put Fletcher through a gauntlet of gruelling lessons, training him as a battlemage to fight in the Hominum Empire's war against the savage orcs. Rubbing shoulders with the children of the most powerful nobles in the land, Fletcher must tread carefully. The power hungry Forsyth twins lurk in the shadows, plotting to further their family's interests. Then there is Sylva, an elf who will do anything she can to forge an alliance between her people and Hominum, even if it means betraying her friends. Othello is the first ever dwarf at the academy, and his people have long been oppressed by Hominum's rulers, which provokes tension amongst those he studies alongside. Fletcher will find himself caught in the middle of powerful forces, with nothing but his demon Ignatius to help him. As the pieces on the board manoeuvre for supremacy, Fletcher must decide where his loyalties lie. The fate of an empire is in his hands ... Did you know that the Wattpad version of Summoner: The Novice is just a large sample of the first draft? The professionally published version is longer and 100% completed, with more demons, more lessons and more action!

He lacks a good conscience. He has trouble feeling guilt. He's been known to enjoy torture. He has spikes of rage that result in death or injury more times than not. He appears to care for no one but himself. He, however, is not above manipulating people into thinking he has the capacity to. As a person he is dangerous. As an immortal he is unstoppable. And now that he has inherited the authority to control the world he is untouchable. She shouldn't have the ability to change that. For her sake she shouldn't try. Because some men were never meant to feel human emotion. Passion, seduction, lust, love, possessiveness. Men like him aren't meant to be capable of any of it. This is his story. As told by Alejo.
