The Last Days of Magic Book Launch Party

Celebrate AW Board Vice President Mark Tompkins’ debut novel The Last Days of Magic! A short reading will be followed by a book signing, drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

The Last Days of Magic is an epic novel of magic and mysticism, Celts and faeries, mad kings and druids, and the goddess struggling to reign over magic’s last outpost on the Earth.

“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, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Secret Chord

“Simultaneously sweeping and intricate, reaching all the way back to the Dead Sea Scrolls and all the way forward to now, Tompkins’ 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, author of the Booker Prize–shortlisted We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
