He is sent to Vocans Military Academy where the lost arts of summoning, spellcraft and demonology are taught to the noble children of the Empire.

   This was an extremely entertaining YA read that takes you into an epic world of adventure and intrigue! I'm just starting this series,and while I'm used to more adult books, it's definitely still wildly entertaining! Fast paced and intriguing, this short read was a perfect introduction to the characters that emerge in the other books of this series. While not absolutely action-packed, it's still heavily intriguing and I raced through it in less than an hour, making it a perfectly short, intriguing read. This little appetizer got me nice and primed for the rest of the books in this series!
