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 Diaz,
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.
