"After another long day at work, all Jon Christensen wanted was a cheap burger and some peace and quiet. When he pulled into the local McDonald's, Jon only had the usual cares on his mind. His sister. The bills. A career with seemingly nowhere to go. But after a confusing encounter at the cash register triggers a violent episode in the parking lot, he's quickly pulled into a world he doesn't understand. His few careless sentences - and the odd gift of languages he's kept hidden for years - wind up thrusting him right into the middle of a chaotic magical free-for-all, a battle taking place in the shadows of society. Entangled in an increasingly complex web of violence and lies, he's left with a choice: adapt, or die. Surrounded by strangers, Jon must struggle to survive, searching out friends amidst a sea of foes. If he can get his group of strays and rejects to work together, there's a chance they might just make it out alive. Should he fail, the consequences will be dire - not only for Jon, but also for those he loves"--Amazon.com.
Alexandra's a half-blood witch with a proud and fiery spirit. She's up to any challenge, and when a foreign prince summons her, claiming she can stop a threat to their lands, she's eager to help. She leaves behind her beloved homeland and family, taking only her bow and trusty horse, Zhan. She travels to the country of Shelkite. And though she's met warmly by Prince Alkin, she's met with disdain by his bitter, right hand man-Master Sword Bryan. Soon, Alexandra and a company of warriors and, yes, a witty unicorn, set off in search of an answer to their predicament. She finds adventure, mischief, and danger around every bend, but nothing amounts to her ever-present and confusing feelings toward Master Sword Bryan. Through grassy foothills where her dreams seem to tell the future, through an ancient wood where the tiniest magic still lives, to the sea in search of reclusive merpeople, and to an unstable, mystical forest the company treks-learning and growing alongside each other, even as a mysterious man joins them. Alexandra may have taken on more than she prefers to handle, but among the hardships and mounting romantic troubles, she knows she has to press on, for whether she does or not she's the key-either for good or evil.

"A storm brews over Greenville - with Aedan front and center. The crew has finally found stability, but any dreams of downtime are crushed when Aedan rolls back into town and demands Jon make good on his debts. Seizing on the momentary peace that's fallen over the region, Aedan drags Jon off to help in his search for freedom.

He needs a healer for Greyson, and the resources to pay one. With the Greenville team at odds with the marketeers, those resources are hard to come by. In his scrabbling for anything he can use, though, Jon makes a startling find - a discovery that has the potential to shake his very understanding of himself. A discovery that draws unwanted eyes, and threatens to destabilize magical society entirely. With the stakes rising, Jon has to find answers, fast - even if those answers will themselves bring trouble down on Greenville and their crew."--provided by publisher.
“Fantastic . . . an honest, beautifully detailed book and an entertaining read.” —DIANA GABALDON, THE WASHINGTON POST "A fantastical treat." —PEOPLE “Simultaneously sweeping and intricate . . . Tompkins’s amazing debut novel conjures an epic battle for the soul of Ireland. Filled with papal machination and royal intrigue, magic and mayhem, faeries, Vikings, legates, kings and queens, angels and goddesses, this is one wild and breathless ride.” —KAREN JOY FOWLER “Plundering the treasure chest of human myths, from mysterious biblical giants to ferocious Celtic faeries, Tompkins has created a fantasy adventure with the shifting perspectives of dreamscape. A novel rich and strange.” —GERALDINE BROOKS What became of magic in the world? Who needed to do away with it, and for what reasons? Drawing on myth, legend, fairy tales, and Biblical mysteries, The Last Days of Magic brilliantly imagines answers to these questions, sweeping us back to a world where humans and magical beings co-exist as they had for centuries. Aisling, a goddess in human form, was born to rule both domains and—with her twin, Anya—unite the Celts with the powerful faeries of the Middle Kingdom. But within medieval Ireland interests are divided, and far from its shores greater forces are mustering. Both England and Rome have a stake in driving magic from the Emerald Isle. Jordan, the Vatican commander tasked with vanquishing the remnants of otherworldly creatures from a disenchanted Europe, has built a career on such plots. But increasingly he finds himself torn between duty and his desire to understand the magic that has been forbidden. As kings prepare, exorcists gather, and divisions widen between the warring clans of Ireland, Aisling and Jordan must come to terms with powers given and withheld, while a world that can still foster magic hangs in the balance. Loyalties are tested, betrayals sown, and the coming war will have repercussions that ripple centuries later, in today’s world—and in particular for a young graduate student named Sara Hill. The Last Days of Magic introduces us to unforgettable characters who grapple with quests for power, human frailty, and the longing for knowledge that has been made taboo. Mark Tompkins has crafted a remarkable tale—a feat of world-building that poses astonishing and resonant answers to epic questions.
