A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a spot on the Round Table, only to find he’s too late. The king died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, leaving no heir, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table survive.They aren’t the heroes of legend, like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Tables, from the edges of the stories, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. Together this ragtag fellowship will set out to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance.But Arthur’s death has revealed Britain’s fault lines. God has abandoned it, and the fairies and monsters and old gods are returning, led by Arthur’s half-sister Morgan le Fay. Kingdoms are turning on each other, warlords are laying siege to Camelot, and rival factions are forming around the disgraced Lancelot and the fallen Queen Guinevere. It is up to Collum and his companions to reclaim Excalibur, solve the mysteries of this ruined world and make it whole again. But before they can restore Camelot they’ll have to learn the truth of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell and lay to rest the ghosts of his troubled family and of Britain’s dark past.

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
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.
Like everyone else, Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic. There he indulges in the joys of college -friendship, love, sex, booze- and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn't bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would.
About to depart on his first vacation in years, Edward Wozny, a hotshot young investment banker, is sent to help one of his firm's most important and mysterious clients. His task is to search their library stacks for a precious medieval codex, a treasure kept sealed away for many years and for many reasons. Enlisting the help of passionate medievalist Margaret Napier, Edward is determined to solve the mystery of the codex-to understand its significance to his wealthy clients, and to decipher the seeming parallels between the legend of the codex and an obsessive role-playing computer game that has absorbed him in the dark hours of the night.
