In the sleepy village of Dundlewick, where turnip sacrifices pass for entertainment and raccoons are mistaken for demons, Gareth Thornwood?a conman with a flair for theatrics?thinks he's hit the grift of a lifetime. Posing as the mighty wizard "Thaddeus the Thunderous," he scams the gullible villagers with glittery props and pizza-themed Latin... until he accidentally summons Malphagor, a mid-tier demon with a passion for corporate jargon and a killer LinkedIn profile.
Now, Gareth must juggle his crumbling facade, a sharp-eyed skeptic named Brina, and a goat-turned-libertarian-politician named Gary, all while surviving Malphagor's "professional development" bootcamp. But when the Demon Council audits their chaos and a reality-eating entity called the Great Maw threatens to devour the village, this mismatched trio must pull off the ultimate con: saving the world (and maybe their souls).
Packed with snarky demons, unionizing raccoons, and spells that backfire spectacularly, The Accidental Summoner is a riotous blend of Terry Pratchett's wit, The Office's cringe humor, and a dash of hellish bureaucracy. Perfect for fans of irreverent fantasy who've ever wondered what would happen if a demon HR rep tried to fix your life.
