The entire #1 New York Times bestselling trilogy that inspired
SYFY's The Magicians, now available in a gorgeous boxed set,
including The Magicians, The Magician King, and The Magician's
Land
This beautiful boxed set makes a perfect gift for readers of the beloved
fantasy series praised by George R. R. Martin, Junot Díaz, and Erin
Morgenstern.
The Magicians
Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A high school math genius,
he's secretly fascinated with a series of children's fantasy novels set
in a magical land called Fillory, and real life is disappointing by
comparison. When Quentin is unexpectedly admitted to an elite, secret
college of magic, it looks like his wildest dreams may have come true.
But his newfound powers lead him down a rabbit hole of hedonism and
disillusionment, and ultimately to the dark secret behind the story of
Fillory. The land of his childhood fantasies turns out to be much darker
and more dangerous than he ever could have imagined . . .
The Magicians is one of the most daring and inventive works of
literary fantasy in years. No one who has escaped into the worlds of
Narnia and Harry Potter should miss this breathtaking return to the
landscape of the imagination.
***The Magician King
***Quentin Coldwater should be happy. He escaped a miserable Brooklyn
childhood, matriculated at a secret college for magic, and graduated to
discover that Fillory--a fictional utopia--was actually real. But even
as a Fillorian king, Quentin finds little peace. His old restlessness
returns, and he longs for the thrills a heroic quest can bring.
Accompanied by his oldest friend, Julia, Quentin sets off--only to
somehow wind up back in the real-world and not in Fillory, as they'd
hoped. As the pair struggle to find their way back to their lost
kingdom, Quentin is forced to rely on Julia's illicitly learned sorcery
as they face a sinister threat in a world very far from the beloved
fantasy novels of their youth.
The Magician's Land
Quentin Coldwater has lost everything. He has been cast out of Fillory,
the secret magical world of his childhood dreams that he once ruled.
With nothing left to lose he returns to where his story began, the
Brakebills Preparatory College of Magic. But he can't hide from his
past, and it's not long before it comes looking for him. Meanwhile, the
magical barriers that keep Fillory safe are failing, and barbarians from
the north have invaded. Eliot and Janet, the rulers of Fillory, embark
on a final quest to save their beloved world, only to discover a
situation far more complex--and far more dire--than anyone had
envisioned.
Along with Plum, a brilliant young magician with a dark secret of her
own, Quentin sets out on a crooked path through a magical demimonde of
gray magic and desperate characters. His new life takes him back to old
haunts, like Antarctica and the Neitherlands, and old friends he thought
were lost forever. The Magician's Land is an intricate and fantastical
thriller, and an epic of love and redemption that brings the Magicians
trilogy to a magnificent conclusion, confirming it as one of the great
achievements in modern fantasy.
