Ebook | Audiobook
It's exciting to see my work go out to the broader market! I'd appreciate any Amazon reviews people feel like giving, since those really help the story gain visibility.
I first started writing because I couldnt find the exact story I wanted to read. It was an itch - I wanted an isekai story with a big mysterious world and cool, science-inspired magic. That's what Ends of Magic was supposed to be. But I'd read dozens of stories where the main character is isekaid into a fantasy world, then uses their scientific knowledge to break magic. I wanted to subvert that trope, and landed on antimagic. When I started, I really had three pillars to the story.
-Worldbuilding. I wanted a world with history far older than our own, where the deep secrets of the past are a source of tension and excitement. The best example of what I mean is The Wandering Inn.
-Isekai. My introduction to LitRPG was He Who Fights With Monsters, and Ill never forget how the first fifty chapters of that story grabbed me.
-Science as the cheat. My favorite trope is when scientific knowledge can be used to gain power - like ArKendrithyst. I built my power system from the ground up to reward deep understanding of the world, far beyond just magic.
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.
The cover art is by miblart. They do great work, and were so patient with me as I tweaked every little thing.
