Ends of Magic

Nathan's life was all labs and lectures until an Archmage pulled him out of his own world into Davrar and offered him a deal: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific knowledge. But Davrar runs on levels, Talents, and an endless hunger for power, ruled by an elite who see outsiders as tools. Nathan's rare gift for countering magic gives him an edge no one saw coming, and he turns from a reluctant transplant into the one force capable of unraveling the system that controls Davrar's society.
