Master of the Five Magics

Blurb

Master of the Five Magics is a fantasy novel by Lyndon Hardy, first published in 1980. It is the first of a trilogy set in the same world; the second book is Secret of the Sixth Magic and the third Riddle of the Seven Realms. While the books feature different characters, each explores, in successively more detail, the same system of magic. It may be an early example of hard fantasy.
