by Taran Matharu

ONE BOY'S POWER TO SUMMON DEMONS WILL CHANGE THE FATE OF AN EMPIRE ...

More demons, epic battles, and fights to the death: introducing the unmissable next instalment in the New York Times bestselling Summoner Trilogy...

On trial for a crime he did not commit, Fletcher must face the Inquisition who will decide his future - the process is gruelling, lead by those who will do anything to see him suffer and haunted by ghosts from the past with clues to Fletcher's tragic origins.
But Fletcher has little time to dwell on these new revelations when the king announces a deadly challenge to the graduating students at Vocans. One that involves entering Orc territory to complete a risky mission. With loyal demons by their sides, commoners and nobles, dwarves and elves must overcome barriers of class and race and work together to triumph. The reward: a fortune in gold, the safety of an empire and PEACE.
With the entire empire watching, Fletcher has much to prove, but there are those out to get him and it soon becomes clear that there's a traitor in their midst, trying to thwart the mission and create unrest within the Empire.
With everything stacked against him, Fletcher must use everything in his power to fight his way to victory.

This book has a slow start to what is a nail biting ending that i did not see coming, and the betrayer of the group had the wool pulled over my eyes the whole way through the book just like poor Fletcher. We start out with a trial for Fletcher and i felt that it dragged quite a bit with this, but their was a purpose to it and once we get beyond that and into the heart of the what the whole theme of this book is about which is unity among the races, the story really starts to build. You really start to be engrossed in how the whole mission is going to play out, are they really going to be able to unite these races with just a simple rescue and destruction mission. It can't be that simple can it, of course not cliff hanger ending with a shocking revelation. The Inquisition is a great second novel that gives you more info into the demons and how they work with their summoners, it also shares more about this land and Fletcher really gets to know how he is and where he comes from. Really ready to read the next book to see what else is coming Fletcher way.
