    There are a whole bunch of authors, go to a library and check out the sf and fantasy section.

    There are a couple I want to mention in particular. Katherine Kerr wrote a whole lot of books a while ago, all in her Deverry cycles, Wikipedia suggests she's moved on, but there are still a lot. They are set in a land where a sort of Breton/gaelic is spoken, there's a lot of kind of laid back druidic/bardic magic and swords and horses.

    Secondly there is C.J. Cherryh's "Morgaine" chronincles, it's sort of SF if you ask where the magic comes from, but the story is mostly fantasy style, three books are typically collected in one volume, there is also a fourth. The story is set in a set of worlds connected by gates that have broken and need to be shut down. Morgaine is an epic figure, the POV character is her follower, it's mostly swords and arrows and horses, except hers is a monster sword.

    The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.
