Andrew has a secret. And it isn't a secret he can tell. Because four years ago, he was cursed, sentenced by a young witch to live as a Nazaree in a supernatural world kept seperate from humans, and the only way out is for someone to love him for who he is, regardless of his differences. But once five years is up, the curse becomes permanent. Can someone see the beauty in Andrew's cursed self, before his time expires? Can someone see beneath his exterior?

Arcturus is just an orphaned stableboy, when he discovers he has the ability to summon demons from another world. As the first commoner to have this skill, he is sent to Vocans Military Academy, where the lost arts of summoning, spellcraft and demonology are taught to the noble children of the Hominum Empire. With no one but his demon Sacharissa to help him, Arcturus must survive the gruelling challenges of the Academy, whilst navigating the political fallout that his discovery set in motion. ************************************************************************************ This is the first part of THE OUTCAST, prequel to THE NOVICE, but you don't need to read them in any particular order.
