By: Todd Herzman

The Complete Series in a single offering!

Four hundred years ago, in the time before the Godfall, the demon hordes were unleashed upon the world of Elaria.

Now, the world has shrunk to one small valley, the Valley of Auld, humanity’s last bastion.

All those within its walls are protected.

Elian is markless—someone who cannot activate skills—and he is one of the poorest markless there is. A miner, forced to leave the city and toil in the nearby salt mines. On their way to and from the mines, the miners are kept secure in a locked wagon. The wagon is not locked to keep them from escaping.

It’s locked to keep the demons from getting in.

Until one day, on their return journey to the city, the wagon is attacked, and the marked guards tasked with protecting it are all slain.

On that day, Elian discovers he isn’t markless after all—he is full-marked, giving him access to all four classes.

Infuser. Invoker. Necromancer. And Summoner.

Summoners were responsible for bringing the demon hordes to Elaria in the first place, and their existence has been purged from the marked bloodlines.

Full-marked shouldn’t exist, yet here he is.

With his newfound powers, Elian must gain skills, fight the demons, and get himself and the other miners back to the city safely—but if anyone discovers what he truly is,he’ll be killed on sight the moment he returns.

A LitRPG Progression Fantasy adventure, Rise of the Last Summoner has a hard magic system that allows marked to control demons, reanimate corpses into minions, steal an enemy’s senses, and infuse different properties into items.

Very entertaining

Cool powers, good plot line, keeps adrenaline pumping throughout wether it’s about getting caught or if it’s the fights

Amazing Story for any progression fantasy fan

I absolutely loved this story. it was such a joy to find. I could barely sleep for the need to have more of it, 20 hours sounds long until you have just two hours left after starting the day before when you started work. the main character is reasonable and cautious given the nature of his world. if I had to give one complaint it would be the ending being a cliffhanger that is an absolutely brilliant way to keep your readers wanting more but so cruel. Thank you Author Todd for another brilliant universe.

Slow and Mediocre Plot

Thirty plus chapters and the plot hadn't moved more than a few nights story wise.

I can't tell whether the character is a ten year old or an adult. I blame part of that on the narrator because his range is atrocious and how he can't control it like he's going through puberty. I'm leaning more to a ten year old because he acts like a child most of the time. The go to the academy got old fast and sounded yeah like a child.

Also the mother's, "your choice was taken" got so old I muted it whenever I heard it.

The male narrator like stated above is subpar when it comes to the main character. He does do a decent voice for the older fatherly like character.
