Antimage

Ends of Magic #1 / 6
by Alexander Olson
Antimage (Ends of Magic #1) by Alexander Olson
Unrated

A scientist from another world. A mage seeking deadly knowledge. A power that could topple an empire.

Nathan's life was defined by labs and lectures until an Archmage yanked him into Davrar and made him a tantalizing offer: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific secrets. Yet, Nathan can't shake off the feeling that darker truths lurk beneath such promises.

The world of Davrar is a dangerous place teeming with dungeons and monsters – ruled by levels, Talents, and a near-infinite progression of power. Nathan will need to rely on himself to survive, forging alliances and taking every advantage he can get against those that seek to control him.

His unique capacity to counteract magic gives him an unprecedented edge, making him a beacon of resistance against those who wield magic as a weapon of control.

Armed with intellect and an emerging power that could dismantle the very foundations of Davrar's society, Nathan emerges not as a mere student of magic, but as its ultimate adversary: the Antimage.

Alexander Olson

Alexander Olson is a writer whose journey into fantasy fiction feels as much about discovery as it is about creation. A biochemist by training, Olson’s scientific mind shapes the fantastical worlds he crafts, blending logic with magic in a way that intrigues both the analytical and the imaginative. His debut series, Ends of Magic, follows Nathan, a scientist transported into a mystical world where his knowledge of the physical realm is both a blessing and a curse. As the Antimage—an individual uniquely capable of countering magic—Nathan must navigate not only the perilous politics of a world brimming with arcane forces but also the deep existential questions about the limits of knowledge and power.

Olson’s background in biochemistry is not just a facet of his personal history; it infuses his work with a level of intellectual rigor that sets him apart in the genre. His magic systems are not mere constructs; they are thought-out mechanisms that often echo the principles of real-world science. The result is a world where magic operates with a sense of order and structure, making the fantastical seem grounded in reality.

Raised on a steady diet of science and stories, Olson’s path to writing was a natural evolution of his love for both disciplines. He spent years immersed in research, but it was always the stories that captured his imagination. His writing style reflects this duality—precise yet expansive, analytical yet brimming with creative energy. His works resonate with readers who appreciate a deeper, more intellectual approach to fantasy.

When he’s not delving into the intricacies of magic or spinning complex narratives, Olson is passionate about helping others navigate their professional journeys. Through his platform, Thoughts from the Entry Level, he offers advice for those starting their careers, underscoring his commitment to guiding others with the same care and insight that defines his storytelling.

As Alexander Olson continues to write, readers can expect more stories that challenge the boundaries between science and fantasy, offering rich, immersive worlds that not only entertain but also provoke thought about the nature of knowledge, power, and the unknown.

Ends of Magic

In a world where magic isn't just a force but a carefully structured system, the Ends of Magic series invites readers to question the boundaries of knowledge, power, and reality itself. At the heart of this series is Nathan, a biochemist thrust into a realm where science and magic intersect in the most unexpected ways. As the Antimage, a person uniquely capable of nullifying magic, Nathan’s journey is more than just survival—it’s an exploration of the very nature of power and the price of knowledge.

The world-building in Ends of Magic is intricate, weaving together elements of magic that feel as tangible as the laws of physics. Magic isn’t simply wielded—it is studied, understood, and, at times, feared. This makes for a universe that feels grounded in a world both familiar and strange, where the rules governing both science and sorcery must constantly be navigated. But the deeper Nathan delves into this world, the more he realizes that his understanding of both magic and science will be tested in ways he never imagined.

As the series unfolds, Nathan is faced with powerful enemies, complex allies, and questions about the true nature of magic and its place in the universe. The lines between the scientific and the supernatural blur, revealing a story rich with philosophical musings on knowledge, destiny, and the limits of human understanding. With each book, readers are drawn deeper into a world where every answer leads to more questions and where power comes with a cost that no one is prepared to pay.

Fans of thought-provoking, immersive fantasy will find themselves captivated by this unique series, where magic is both a gift and a curse, and where a man’s quest for knowledge could change the fabric of reality itself. Will Nathan unlock the full potential of his powers, or will he be undone by the very magic he seeks to control? The Ends of Magic series is an unforgettable journey into a world where the limits of power are tested, and the consequences of wielding it are always just around the corner.
