    Fall of Magic Series

    By Val Neil

    About this series

    Magic is dying out, and the only people who can stop it are a psychopathic dark wizard and an autistic mage with crippling anxiety.

     

    Nikolai and Medea must work together to determine the cause of magic dying. Their research takes them to America, where Medea struggles to navigate the ever-changing Mundane world and Nikolai struggles to get into her figurative pants. He's certain it's the key to winning her heart, but she seems oblivious to his advances and the pesky fox spirit Yoxtl won't stop cockblocking him.

     

    Medea has sensed the decline of magic for years. Now that she has an apprentice who can help her discover the cause, she finds her own discomfort with an ever-changing society getting in the way. She's also agreed to teach Nikolai telepathy—a branch of magic that she despises and fears he'll use against her.

     

    When they stumble upon a mysterious magical signature in the unlikeliest of places—the heart of a Mundane American city—Medea hopes it could be the solution, but what they find is far more troublesome.

     

    Dark Mind is the second book in the Fall of Magic Series. Fans of The Poppy War and Vicious will enjoy this quirky dark fantasy set in the 1950s, when men were men and everyone else got screwed. Grab your copy today!

      A psychopathic wizard. An immortal mage. An epic battle of wills.   Nikolai doesn't want much out of life: sex, immortality, and the power to disembowel anyone who crosses him. But with dark magic forbidden, his only option is Medea–a mage so deadly even the Enforcers give her a wide berth. Despite dire warnings that her apprentices don't survive, Nikolai won't stop until she agrees to train him. After all, he's a killer himself.   Barbaric and brutal, the training is a far cry from what Nikolai expects. When a mysterious illness strikes Nikolai down, he suspects he's found the secret to Medea's longevity. He resolves to find out what happened to her previous apprentices. If he can locate the source of her power, he can turn it against her.   Medea swore off training dark wizards–none of them take the craft seriously and the ungrateful bastards always try to kill her. This one definitely seems the backstabbing type, but magic is dying out and she hasn't felt such magical strength in centuries. If she can control the boy, show him that magic is more than curses and necromancy, he might obtain the power he desires. If not, well . . .   What's one more dead apprentice?   If you enjoy dark fantasy with quirky, morally grey characters and humorous banter (but no romance), this is the book for you!
