After three years of fruitless effort as a Summoner who couldn’t call a single beast, Joanna Lane is betrayed by her team right before the Crucible and left to fend for herself. Desperate, she risks everything with an ancient Bloodcall Circle and finally bonds with a young, intelligent wolf that understands speech, handles chores, fights monsters, and carries her to victory. Her powers awaken fully, allowing her to contract powerful creatures like Flame Lion, Swift White Tiger, Dark Dragon, and Deep-Sea Merfolk. Years later, when the beasts’ families arrive claiming they are mutated sentinels, Joanna refuses to believe it, showering her loyal companions with affection and treating them as her beloved, fluffy partners in a world of sci-fi classes, payback, and one-versus-many battles.
