The Dark Summoner #5 is Out!
The Dark Summoner #5 by Andrei Tkachev — A Prince Rises
The fifth volume of The Dark Summoner by Andrei Tkachev is here — and the game has changed.
From the very first book, Gregor Vetrov defied expectations. The last surviving noble of a junior lineage, he refused to fade quietly into obscurity. Instead, he built alliances, sharpened his craft, survived the Academy, untangled deadly magical bonds, and corrected the mistakes of his past.
In Book 4, he took the boldest step yet: restoring the long-forgotten Shuvalov bloodline and founding a new House under the wary gaze of the Empire.
Now, in Book 5, the stakes rise higher than ever.
Gregor is no longer just a dark summoner navigating aristocratic intrigue.
He is Prince Shuvalov.
But a reclaimed title is only the beginning. A name alone means nothing among the Empire’s elite. Power must be proven — politically, financially, magically.
In the capital, the law firm “Alteya” opens its doors, turning magical contracts into weapons of influence. Arina’s clinics expand beneath the Shuvalov crest. The family’s foundation grows stronger. Allies gather.
And so do enemies.
Rivals hide behind intermediaries. Mercenaries strike at Gregor’s students. The Magical Security Service watches his every move. And beneath it all lingers a dangerous question: how deep do Gregor’s powers truly run — and who might dare to replicate the ritual that transformed him into a dark summoner?
The Shuvalov House has been reborn.
But if it intends to survive in the Empire’s ruthless hierarchy, it must do more than endure.
It must become a predator.
The Dark Summoner #5 delivers political maneuvering, expanding power, strategic ambition, and a protagonist who is no longer fighting merely for survival — but for dominance.
