Embark on a thrilling journey with Rosheen Katell, a wandering mage known for her unwavering honesty, and Sander Bree, a royal mage living a life of privilege.

Rosheen has built her reputation on honesty and her refusal to kill. Sander, a royal mage, lives a life of ease, advising the king on matters of state. But when a cataclysmic event brings an end to magic, their worlds are thrown into chaos.

Sander is forced to fulfil a promise that may be impossible to keep without magic, while Rosheen must align herself with a murderous warlord, putting her principles to the test. In a war unlike any other, they are set against each other in a battle for survival.

The End of Magic is a gripping fantasy novel that deftly reimagines high fantasy tropes, delivering an original and intricately plotted story. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie and Scott Lynch, this dark and confident narrative will keep you on the edge of your seat.

"Mark Stay paints his world and characters with deft, confident and dark strokes." – RJ Barker, author of the Wounded Kingdom Trilogy

"Mark Stay writes like he’s the lovechild of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The End Of Magic will have you laughing one minute and then leave you heartbroken the next — but always desperate to keep turning the pages. Enjoy the magic of a master storyteller at work." — Mick Shackle, author of the Last War trilogy

"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 writing is excellent: vivid images, clear voice, and well-rounded characters." ★★★★★ - Amazon.com reviewer

"Be prepared to laugh, to cry, and to get paper cuts from all the page-turning!" ★★★★★ - Amazon.com reviewer

"An excellent read for fans of Terry Pratchett and great British comedy." ★★★★★ - Amazon.com reviewer

"What was truly unique is that Mark Stay has given us a novel in the fantasy genre, but taken away the magic a quarter of the way through. What transpires is gut wrenching, heart breaking and grisly." ★★★★★ - Amazon.com reviewer

"This was a blast, hints of Joe Abercrombie’s books and his dark humour, but presented in a world in chaos." ★★★★★ - Amazon UK Reviewer
