SYNOPSIS
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.
style="color: lime;">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.

One of my favorite books about magic is "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell." This book looks like it has a couple of things in common - fairies and Britain. "The Last Days of Magic" is going on my To-read list!
ReplyDeleteCool giveaway! Thanks for the chance :) I've been a bookworm as long as I can remember. One of my favorite things when I was younger was riding my bike up to the used bookstore and trading in my old books for new ones. Lol I was getting a ton of Stephen King books and I was only like 9yrs old.
ReplyDeleteI've always been a bookaholic! I remember being completely shocked when I found out that not everyone was! After 43 years, I have learned to deal with my husband's only flaw...he reads nothing longer than a magazine article! gah! I know, I know...talk about opposites! Thank you for a great post !
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a bookaholic until I finished elementary school. Then one fine day it turned out that I really love books and can't get enough of them! Thanks for the giveaway!
