The riveting sequel to the New York Times
bestseller and literary phenomenon,
The Magicians
With The Magicians, Lev Grossman earned the
admiration of readers and fans alike, shattering the limits
of conventional fantasy writing by imagining magic as
practiced in the real world by fallible people, unfettered
by fictional notions of good and evil.
The Magician King returns to Fillory, where Quentin is
now king. He embarks on a heroic quest accompanied
by his old friend Julia, who made it to Fillory despite
failing the Brakebills entrance exam. Instead, he and
Julia—whose genius is thrilling—must harness the magic
of Brakebills and the explosive sorcery Julia learned in the
streets to defeat a sinister threat in a world far from the
bright fantasy novels they read as children. Once again,
Grossman proves he is the modern heir to C. S. Lewis and
the cutting edge of literary fantasy.

“This serious, heartfelt novel turns the
machinery of fantasy inside out.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“The Catcher in the Rye for devotees of
alternative universes. It’s dazzling . . . A
rare, strange, and scintillating novel.”
—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune
“The Magician King is a rare achievement,
a book that simultaneously criticizes and
celebrates our deep desire for fantasy.”
—The Boston Globe
“A spellbinding stereograph, a literary
adventure novel that is also about a
privilege, power, and the limits of being
human. The Magician King is a triumphant
sequel.” —NPR.org
“A story about extraordinary deeds,
heroism, magic, and love . . . a book that
entertains and disturbs at the same time.”
—Boing Boing
