The comfortable world of Martris Drayke, second son of King Bricen of Margolan, is shattered when his older half-brother, Jared, and Jared's dark mage, Foor Arontala, kill the king and seize the throne. Tris is the only surviving member of the royal family aside from Jared the traitor. Tris flees with three friends: Soterius, captain of the guard; Carroway, the court's master bard; and Harrtuck, a member of the royal guard. Tris harbors a deep secret. In a land where spirits walk openly and influence the affairs of the living, he suspects he may be the mage heir to the power of his grandmother, Bava K'aa, once the greatest sorceress of her age. Such magic would make Tris a Summoner, the rarest of magic gifts, capable of arbitrating between the living and the dead.

"This was a pretty good book, once it finally got going. S L O W starting. Probably more than 3/4 of the way through felt like a school assignment, but after that, I really started to feel drawn to the characters. I'm assuming it is like a few other reviewers have said, the series is written as one whole story. Not separate stories telling one whole saga."

"This is a great series. It puts a different spin on the roll of a necromancer. Instead of being a dark, evil character who raises the dead to be monsters of horror. He is a natural part of the world. With ghosts roaming the world a necromancer is needed to give them peace and help them rest. Of coarse he uses their help to win back his throne from his maniacal brother who killed their father to take the throne along the way. "
