SUMMONERS
about the book
What if the dead refused to rest and the only one who could bring balance was already losing theirs?
In the haunting city of Alynton, where spirits stir behind a mysterious veil and the living walk beside the echoes of the dead, an Executor’s duty is simple: retrieve the souls of the departed and keep the peace. But when a summoning ritual collapses during a riot, unleashing chaos and something far more dangerous, a routine collection turns into a possession and a reckoning.
“Summoners” is a gripping, genre-blending fantasy that follows Terry Mandeville, a powerful Executor burdened with the spirit of a charming but volatile thief named Whip. As secrets unravel and political tension brews, Terry must navigate ghosts, grief, and a rogue coven racing to summon the ancient Witch Queen before Alynton’s fragile balance collapses.
Darkly atmospheric, fiercely original, and laced with intrigue, “Summoners” explores identity, power, and what it truly means to be haunted.
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, supernatural thrillers, and immersive world-building.

This book gripped me from the first page. The way the Executor moved through grief, mystery, and duty felt so raw and real, I felt every breath she took. Amy Faulks writes with such emotional clarity that I forgot I was reading fiction.”
I’ve never encountered a fantasy world so fully realized and yet so heartbreakingly human. The relationship between Whip and the Executor is haunting and intimate in a way I can’t quite explain. This story will stay with me.
As someone who’s wrestled with trauma and recovery, reading this was like peering into another version of our world, where spirits linger, but healing is possible. 'Summoners' is both strange and strangely comforting.
It’s rare to find speculative fiction that blends grit, emotion, and mystery so seamlessly. I didn’t expect to cry over a character named Whip, but here we are. Amy Faulks has created something unforgettable.
The prose is as sharp as a Leviathan bone knife. I felt like I was walking through the veiled city myself, whispering prayers, chasing truths, mourning the lost. Every page pulses with soul.
