THE MAGNET
OF MARJON
In a fractured world shaped by magnetic catastrophe, a boy from the Barrens may carry all five abilities and thus be capable of changing everything.
It was the warning.”
The Magnet of Marjon
Five Tribes. Five Powers. Every Zetash Tribe member carries one ability. Kull Kalijan is the only person known to wield two, making him the most feared man alive.
Legends speak of a rarer force still — a Quint capable of wielding all five.
Gideon Irondell was never supposed to exist.
Raised in the broken wastelands of the Barrens, Gideon survives by stealing, running, and listening carefully enough to stay alive. But when ancient powers awaken within him, he becomes the center of a conflict stretching from the fractured Fault Lines to the towers of Karthune itself.

Terence J. Murphy
Terence J. Murphy writes about people who discover they were never supposed to exist. His debut fantasy series, The Gideon Irondell Trilogy, is set in a world fractured by magnetic catastrophe — where power is inherited, survival is political, and one boy from the Barrens may carry abilities that were never meant to coexist. The first book, The Magnet of Marjon, is available now. Murphy’s earlier work, The Cranio-Genesis Project trilogy, explored transformation, identity, and the cost of becoming something the world wasn’t ready for. His fiction has reached readers in twelve countries. A former technology executive with an engineering background, he lives in Florida.
The Gideon Irondell Trilogy represents his flagship fantasy universe — a crossover YA epic blending mythic scale, magnetic catastrophe, and deeply human conflict.
