In the shadows of Boston, where the city’s forgotten corners pulse with ancient power, the Summoner’s Circle beckons—a secret society of magicians, psychics, and witches bound together by a dark, forbidden art. The series immerses readers in a world where the supernatural collides with the human, and the price of ambition is often a soul.
At the heart of The Summoner's Circle is David Aristarkhov, a psychic whose connection to a powerful demon threatens his very existence. Seeking the help of his ex-boyfriend Rhys McGowan—a ceremonial magician—and Rhys’ wife, Moira, a witch with her own tangled past, David is plunged into a vortex of magic, passion, and betrayal. What begins as a desperate plea for help soon becomes a battle for control, as ancient pacts and modern-day desires collide in ways none of them are prepared for.
The series masterfully explores the complexities of relationships—both human and magical—and the choices that define us, especially when the stakes involve the very forces of darkness. As each book delves deeper into the rituals, politics, and undercurrents of this occult world, readers are introduced to a tapestry of characters driven by personal demons, ambitions, and the quest for power. Rhys, in particular, takes center stage as his own journey unfolds, becoming the High Priest of a group that manipulates both the physical and ethereal worlds.
With Evocation and its sequel Ascension, the series introduces a world where each magical action ripples through time, and every decision carries unimaginable weight. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as every spell cast and every pact made threatens to unravel not only their lives but the fragile balance between the living and the supernatural.
In a narrative where loyalty is tested and love often means sacrifice, The Summoner’s Circle invites readers into a world of hidden magic, ancient rituals, and the dark forces that make everything possible—and perilous. Each book peels back the layers of this intricate universe, offering twists and turns that promise to keep readers spellbound, questioning who, or what, they can trust in a world where nothing is as it seems.
If you seek a series that weaves together dark academia, urban fantasy, and intricate character-driven plots, The Summoner’s Circle will keep you on the edge of your seat, wanting more. Where magic thrives, so too does its price—will you dare to pay it?
