Author: David J. Normoyle

David J. Normoyle writes fantasy and science fiction built around contested power, difficult choices, and characters learning the cost of unusual abilities. Fire Summoning is the second novel in the Sentinels sequence, following Fire Sorcerer and continuing a series that also includes Fire Soldiers, Fire Serpent, and Fire Sacrifice. The sequence develops a world of elemental magic and competing obligations across connected installments rather than treating each adventure as isolated. Normoyle's bibliography also includes The Narrowing Path, the Weapons of Power books, Myth Weaver, and shorter works linked to his fantasy settings. Fire Summoning occupies an early position in the Sentinels arc, where established relationships and magical rules can deepen while new consequences emerge. Across his series, Normoyle favors protagonists who must interpret imperfect information before acting. That emphasis makes power less a shortcut than a responsibility, and it gives the connected structure of the Sentinels novels much of its momentum.
