Fire Summoning

The Sentinels #2

by David J. Normoyle

My name is Rune and I recommend not falling in love with your would-be executioner. Of course, I don’t necessarily practice what I preach.

I have to figure out why several orphans have been possessed by elementals and stop shifter criminals who want to destroy the city’s prison before it’s even built. But my worst problem is that Sash, equal parts beautiful and deadly, is immune to my goofy charm and appears determined to carry out her bloody assignment.

I fear I’m going to find out how much love hurts.

Fire Summoning is the second book in The Sentinels, a thrilling new urban fantasy series. Mixing mystery, magic, humor, and heart-pounding action, it's sure to delight fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles who may just find a new favorite hero in Rune Russell.

“My name is Rune and I recommend not falling in love with your would-be executioner. Of course, I don’t necessarily practice what I preach.”

Poor Rune, finding out that he’s not actually human, given powers he really doesn’t understand, stick being a sentinel, with a job in the magical world that he didn’t particularly want, due to be on trial for magical crimes, and trying to figure out exactly why orphans have been possessed by elementals, why shifters want to destroy the city’s unbuilt prison and why sexy Sash, who he is falling for, wants to assassinate him (and might just succeed). A pretty exhausting list. Pretty tough for a 17-year-old kid. His friends might end up thinking he’s the male version of Buffy (the Vampire Slayer - don’t worry if you don’t get the reference, it’s a compliment), but he has strong doubts. I have faith in him though and it’s a great pleasure following along as he somehow tries to deal with everything that comes at him and grows in abilities (and maturity) despite what he may think.

Highly recommended.
