Overview: Gryff never knew he was the most powerful summoner in the world until a rogue monster attacked his village.
Gryff never knew he was the most powerful summoner in the world until a rogue monster attacked his village. Now he's been recruited into the top magical academy, beautiful women are breaking down his dorm room door, and the headmaster has big, big plans for him. Instead of summoners being maligned by society, Gryff is in a position to make them revered and honored.
Between his studies at the Varle Academy for Gifted Mages and his duties to the monster response team, Gryff will find himself fighting not just monsters, but bandits, thugs, and a local street gang as well.
In an academy that trains people to deal with monsters and mayhem, there's one challenge even Gryff may not be ready to face: Final Exams. On the plus side, he'll capture a giant armored monster and get to ride around on its shoulder while the beast smites things with its sword.
With the mystery of the monsters and the Shadowscape growing deeper every day, Gryff and his friends have been split up by Headmaster Sleet and sent to the far corners of the world with one mission: find some ancient ciphers that could end this war once and for all. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it would be except for the rifts that keep opening up on top of them, the mercenaries that want them dead, and, oh yeah, a murderous, monster angel that is seeking to bring about the end of the world as Gryff knows it.
