The second book in the bestselling and beloved fantasy series, the Magicians trilogy.

Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of the magical land of Fillory. But he finds himself growing restless.

So when a mystery at the heart of the kingdom is uncovered, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a sailing ship and set off to the wild outer reaches.

But their voyage will take them much further than they imagined and leave them with a choice that could have devastating consequences - for Fillory and for magic itself.

Praise for The Magician King

An excellent follow-up to a brilliant first installment.

Civilian Reader

Lev Grossman's novel is full of magic ... stupendous urban fantasy ... The Magician King is Harry Potter for grown-ups who have learned to hate Harry Potter

The Guardian

Fabulous fantasy spiked with bitter adult wisdom-not to be missed.

Kirkus

A story about extraordinary deeds, heroism, magic and love -- all the stuff that makes escapism go. It's a fantastic trick that makes this into a book that entertains and disturbs at the same time

Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

Grossman's trademark eloquent-yet-hip writing style flourishes in this sequel, a creative and entertaining novel well worth the wait

Greg Bruce, Boswell Book Company

Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along... Literary perfection.

Erin Morgenstern, author of The Night Circus

The best fantasy trilogy of the decade.

Charles Stross

The most entertaining and compelling fantasy I've read in a long time.
