Tercera entrega de la extraordinaria y absorbente trilogía «Los Magos» en la que la magia se imagina como una actividad practicada por personas de carne y hueso con sus deseos, sus caprichos y sus volubles emociones. Quentin Coldwater ha sido expulsado de Fillory, la tierra mágica secreta de sus sueños de infancia. Sin nada que perder, regresa al lugar donde empezó su historia, la escuela de magia Brakebills. Sin embargo, no puede esconderse de su pasado, y este no tarda en acudir en su busca. Junto con Plum, una joven y brillante estudiante que guarda su propio, oscuro secreto, Quentin parte por una senda tortuosa a través de un territorio de magia gris y personajes desesperados. Pero todos los caminos llevan a Fillory, y su nueva vida lo conduce a viejos santuarios como la Antártida y a secretos sepultados y viejos amigos que creía haber perdido para siempre. Quentin desvela la clave de una obra maestra de la hechicería, un encantamiento que podría crear una utopía mágica, un nuevo Fillory, pero lanzar ese hechizo pondrá en marcha una cadena de sucesos que lo llevarán a arriesgarse a sacrificarlo todo. Reseñas: «Grossman nos recuerda que la buena escritura puede cautivar los sentidos, la imaginación y el intelecto.» The Washington Post «Un final conmovedor para la aclamada trilogía de Grossman.» People

For anyone who's ever craved a seat at the Round Table, this reimagining of the King Arthur legend is utterly enchanting. A beautifully written and human take on the tale, it feels both modern and ancient. The story follows gifted young knight Collum, who arrives at Camelot to compete for a place on the Round Table, only to find that the king has recently died, and only a few oddball knights remain. Among them are Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur's fool, alongside Nimue, Merlin's former apprentice. Together, they must rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance, as the fairies and old gods return, led by Morgan le Fay. Their quest involves reclaiming Excalibur and understanding the mystery behind King Arthur's fall. This epic tale explores the struggles of imperfect men and women seeking to restore a broken land while grappling with their own flaws. The narrative weaves themes of faith, duty, and selfhood into a classic sword-and-sorcery adventure, making it a compelling read that resonates with contemporary audiences. Lev Grossman’s fresh take on the Arthurian legend is a must-read for this millennium.

Is it an ally? A rival? An enemy? A bit of all three? The question will turn Kate’s world upside down, take her from the Scottish Highlands to the Australian outback to the bottom of the Bering Sea, and lead her straight on a collision course with the mysterious masters of the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway itself. Because when you're a human being fighting to save nature, are you the hero or are you the villain?

Nothing is ever as it seems Quentin Coldwater is king of the bizarre and wonderful land of Fillory, but the days and nights of royal luxury are losing their appeal and Quentin is getting restless. Even in heaven a man needs a little adventure. So when a steward is murdered on a morning's hunt that is exactly what Quentin gets. But this quest is like no other. What starts as a flight of fancy, a glorified cruise to faraway lands, soon becomes the stuff of nightmares when Quentin is unceremoniously dumped at his parent's house in a decidedly un-magical suburb in Massachusetts. Back in this grey reality, Quentin has never wanted his magical kingdom more. Fortunately he is accompanied by his old friend Julia, who learned her own brand of black and twisted magic outside Brakebills College at an illegal, underground school in the real world. As they struggle through the paranormal alleyways, past Venetian dragons and fairytale houses, it becomes clear that only Julia's black arts can save them. But there is a greater power at work, one that is threatening to destroy Fillory forever, and to defeat it they must unravel the secrets of Julia's tragic past, and the terrible pact she made to gain her power. The Magician King is a grand voyage into the dark, glittering heart of magic, an extraordinary journey that allows the imagination to run riot and proves Grossman is the modern heir to C.S. Lewis.

There are others powers than sorcery, powers that are as seductive as they are dangerous - and when the illusion of safety shatters, Quentin is drawn into a world far darker than he ever imagined. After all, power corrupts. No exceptions. THE FIRST BOOK IN LEV GROSSMAN'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MAGICIAN TRILOGY
