SUMMONERS by Amy Faulks Brings a Fresh Voice to Modern Fantasy Fiction

 

Amy Faulks has a new fantasy novel out called SUMMONERS. It takes place in a carefully planned world where magic, duty, and moral tension all come together. The book gives readers a thoughtful look at fantasy by focusing on people, systems, and the price of keeping balance in a society that is not very stable.

Death doesn't always mean peace in SUMMONERS. When someone dies, their spirit may stay close to the living world. Some spirits are safe, but others can become unstable and dangerous. The city relies on trained professionals called Executors to deal with this reality.

After death, executors are responsible for guiding spirits and keeping the living safe. Their work is very important, but most people don't see it. The book is about Terry Mandeville, one of these Executors, who is well-liked for his discipline and skill. Terry strongly believes in order and routine because he knows that chaos can have bad effects.

 

Terry's story takes a dramatic turn when he meets the ghost of a man named Whip. Whip is different from most spirits in that he is still aware and strong-minded. His spirit doesn't fade away; instead, it becomes tied to Terry. This unexpected event makes it hard for Terry to do his job and puts both men in a tough and dangerous situation.

Terry and Whip have to learn to live together because they have to share the same body. At first, their relationship is tense because they don't trust each other and are angry. Over time, they have to work together because they need to. SUMMONERS looks at trust, identity, and shared responsibility through the lens of their relationship.

As they fight their own battles, a much bigger threat comes to light. The city's Veil is starting to break down. The Veil keeps a lot of spirits from getting through. If it falls down, the city will be in a lot of trouble and loss.

This growing crisis brings back old knowledge and lost power. The Witch Queen, Iris Westheide, is at the center of this. Her work a long time ago helped make the systems that control spirits and keep things in balance. It might help to call on her spirit, but it could also be very dangerous.

This choice in the book makes us think about important things. Can the past give us answers without making the same mistakes again? Is it okay to tie up spirits to keep people safe? SUMMONERS poses these inquiries without bias, enabling readers to contemplate the implications of control.

Amy Faulks writes clearly and with care. The story is easy to follow because the language is clear and simple. There are rules and structure to the magic system. Rituals need to be planned and done carefully, and mistakes can have serious effects.

SUMMONERS doesn't just rely on quick action to build tension; it also uses choices and their effects. The main focus is still on the characters and their moral struggles. As Terry goes on his journey, he has to think about and change the beliefs that used to define him.

The story is more interesting because of Whip's presence. Even though he lived outside the law, his point of view challenges rigid systems and shows how strict order can only go so far. His voice makes the story more balanced and helps Terry grow.

The world of SUMMONERS is full of life and detail. The city seems to be shaped by fear and history, with systems in place to control things that can't be fully understood. The Veil is a symbol of protection and sacrifice, and it reminds readers that safety often comes at a price.

Readers who like fantasy that goes beyond simple battles and clear heroes will like Amy Faulks's SUMMONERS. It tells a story where magic has a purpose, power comes with responsibility, and every answer has its own problems.

The book is now out, and it takes readers to a world where order is weak, change is needed, and it's never easy to tell what's right and what's wrong.
