Assassin
Nathan and his companions are free. For now. They're trapped inside the fortress-city of Halsmet, and every mage of Giantsrest is hunting for them.
Luckily enough, they've been found by Faline, the shapeshifting leader of the Assassins of Gemore. She's pledged to teach Nathan her deadly trade. How far will he go to fight the empire of slavers? How much murder is justified?
Even if they manage to win this fight against Giantsrest, it won't be the end of the conflict. A Questor from ages past lurks in the heart of the Ascendent Academy, and he won't allow Giantsrest to suffer a defeat.
It is time for Nathan to face his sworn enemy, to stand against the Ascendent Academy. But how can one person fight an empire of thousands?

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.
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.
Ends of Magic consists of five books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
