Fiction Family Life
Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin
Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds
himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college
of magic in upstate New York. There he indulges in joys of
college-friendship, love, sex, and booze- and receives a
rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn't
bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would.
After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret
that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfill
Quentin's yearning. But their journey turns out to be darker
and more dangerous than they'd imagined. Psychologically
piercing and dazzlingly inventive, The Magicians is an
enthralling coming-of-age tale about magic practiced in the
real world-where good and evil aren't black and white, and
power comes at a terrible price.
