Master of the Five Magics, 2nd edition (Magic by the Numbers Book 1)
Our reality is governed by physical laws
So is magic
Find out what they are
One of the most logical detailing of the laws of magic ever to appear in fantasy – Lester del Rey
Alodar was a mere journeyman, learning the least of the five arts of magic. He had no right to aspire to the hand of Vendora, Queen of all of Procolon. But aspired by the lure of romance, he did.
Fleeing a frontier castle as it falls, Alodar’s quest takes him from one magical art to another—each with its own distinct powers and constraints. Aided by a mysterious eye from a smoldering volcano, at a college for magicians he discovers the secret lying behind the hypnotic flicker of common flame.
Volume 1 of the Magic by the Numbers series

A truly great read — Jeffery S. Miller
This book is flawless and fascinating. I can’t wait to read it again — Amazon customer
I grew up reading fantasy and science fiction, and one of the greatest regrets I have is that I never found more than three books written by Lyndon Hardy, an author I still consider an automatic buy. In a way, this man’s work defined what I expect from fantasy — Amazon customer
As my bookshelves continue to grow, I can name only a handful of books that I continue revisit time and time again. Duncan’s Magic Casement series. Feist’s Riftwar. Moon’s Saga of Paksenarrion. And above all, Hardy’s Master of the Five Magics. — Amazon customer
