The End of Magic

4.11 (154 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Mark Stay

Two powerful mages. One steeped in privilege, the other bound by a moral code. Their world is thrown into chaos by the end of magic.

Rosheen Katell is a wandering mage and, with Anzu her griffin, shes worked hard to build a reputation as a trustworthy truth seer. She never lies, never kills.
Sander Bree is a royal mage. He lives an easy life advising the king on matters of court and politics, but dreams of an apocalypse are giving him massive anxiety attacks.
Very soon, their magic will be gone. A cataclysmic event will change their lives and world forever. Sander must keep a promise to save the life of a young girl that would have been difficult enough with magic, but is a suicide mission without it. Rosheen is forced to side with a murderous warlord, and her once-solid principles are tested and found wanting. Both will be set against one another in a war unlike anything the world has seen before, in this sweeping fantasy of magics ending.
A stand alone fantasy novel for readers of Joe Abercrombie and Scott Lynch

The sort of book you give to people who say prove to me why I should read fantasy A simply terrific read. James Barclay, author of the Legends of the Raven series
Takes the tropes of high fantasy and uses them to wield an original, compelling and intricately plotted story exactly the kind of fantasy that we need more of. Gavin G. Smith, author of the Veteran series
Stay does for George RR Martin what Pratchett did for Tolkien. - Julian Barr, author of The Way Home
The End of Magic has one of the most compelling narratives as well as a strong authorial voice. Amazon UK Reviewer

Like Game of Thrones without the boobs! - Amazon UK Reviewer
This was a blast, hints of Joe Abercrombies books and his dark humour, but presented in a world in chaos. - Amazon UK Reviewer
The most fun I've had reading a fantasy novel since Red Country by Joe Abercrombie. - Amazon UK Reviewer
This book grabbed me in the first couple of pages... Couldnt stop. Really want more! - Amazon UK Reviewer
I may never forgive the author for that (spoiler) death scene... *When you read it youll understand* Rarely have I shed tears so early on in a book. - Amazon UK ReviewerA fun and intense read. - Amazon UK Reviewer

A fresh take on the perennial story of the golden catastrophe/age. The author has created a completely authentic fantasy world. - Amazon UK Reviewer

Normal fantasy conventions are distorted, magic is not dependable and there are evil, bloodthirsty villains at work. - Amazon UK Reviewer

The humour in the writing offset the blood and gore that featured throughout. - Amazon UK Reviewer

The author effortlessly creates a world that is both wonderfully fantastical and at the same time strangely real. - Amazon UK Reviewer
Gripping and entertaining. - Amazon UK Reviewer
