The Summoners Price: Book One of The Blood Summoner Series

What would you trade for your freedom? Elias Vance lives in a penthouse he didn't earn, wears suits that cost more than his old monthly rent, and answers to creatures who have been hunting humans since before recorded history. Three years ago, he discovered he could do the impossible: summon blood from living people without harming them, channeling it into pools that sustain vampire society for a year. He is the Summoner. The only one in four centuries. And he has negotiated something no Summoner before him ever achieved: his freedom. Once a year, Elias stands beneath a stadium filled with sixty thousand people and gives the vampires what they need. In exchange, they let him live as he chooses, protected by ancient laws and his own irreplaceable value. It's a transaction. Nothing more. At least, that's what he tells himself. But Councillor Hareth has watched civilizations rise and fall across three thousand years, and he has never believed that rare things should be free. He collects the extraordinary—artifacts, creatures, people with gifts too valuable to leave uncontrolled. And he has decided that Elias belongs in his collection. When whispers reach Elias that someone is researching ways to bind a Summoner's will, he realizes the gilded cage he's been living in was always meant to become a prison. His only allies are Maren, a centuries-old vampire whose protection may be more than professional, and Soren, a bodyguard whose loyalties run deeper than his assignment. To survive, Elias must navigate vampire politics older than most nations, uncover the truth about Summoners who came before him, and decide how much of his humanity he's willing to risk to remain free. Because Hareth doesn't want to kill him. Hareth wants to own him. And some cages don't have bars. The Summoner's Price is the first book in The Blood Summoner Series, a dark urban fantasy featuring morally complex vampires, high-stakes political intrigue, and a protagonist who refuses to be anyone's property. Perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab, Holly Black, and readers who love their fantasy with sharp teeth and sharper negotiations.
