*** ATTENTION - This is a rewrite so if you read this story before April 2016, then I'm afraid a lot has changed! *** Thomas hasn't had much luck in life, and not much of a choice in it either. But now, when a job of subterfuge and betrayal pushes Thomas out of the city with a band of Travellers, his life is turned upside down and the lives of the people he loves are placed precariously in his hands. But the world isn't as black and white as it seems, and as Thomas falls deeper into the secrets hidden within the outskirts of the kingdom, he finds that a civil war is the least of their worries. With his new friends, and his eyes opened to a new world, can Thomas do what is necessary? And can he do it without dooming those he loves? This Epic Fantasy story explores the bonds of family, friends and lovers, tested by pain and suffering in a world hidden from sight, ready to burst into action at the slightest touch...

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 ...
