Master of the Five Magics is a fantasy novel by Lyndon Hardy, first published in 1980.[1][2] 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. The books feature different characters, but each explores the same system of magic in successively more detail.[3][4] It may be an early example of hard fantasy.[5]
