The stunning conclusion to the New York Times
bestselling Magicians trilogy
Quentin Coldwater has lost everything. He has been cast out

that he once ruled. Everything he had fought so hard for,

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

back to Fillory, where Quentin must face his fears and put
