Třetí díl příběhu o mladém muži, který praktikuje magii v reálním světě. Quentina Coldwatera vyhnali z Filorie, ze země jeho dětských snů, a od té doby s ním skutečný svět pořádně zametá. Teď se stal pouhým dalším snaživcem, zachmuřeným a zoufalým, jenž se úporně pokouší vyšplhat po kluzkém svahu zpět ke světlu a teplu. Nemá co ztratit, a tak se vrací tam, kde všechno začalo – na střední školu kouzel v Brakebills. Ale své minulosti nemůže uniknout... V mistrně napsaném románu se fantazie stává realitou a naopak.

Quentin Coldwater by měl být šťastný. Po ne příliš pěkném dětství v Brooklynu vystudoval tajnou školu kouzel a zjistil, že fiktivní země Filorie, o které snil, skutečně existuje. Ačkoli v ní teď vládne, stále nenachází klid... Vydává se proto na cestu, aby přišel na to, co je s Filorií v nepořádku. Kam až ho jeho podivný neklid dovede? A dokáže se odtud zase vrátit? V mistrně napsaném románu se fantazie stává realitou a naopak.

Napínavý příběh o mladém muži, který praktikuje magii v reálném světě. Quentin Coldwater je nadaný, ale nešťastný. Chodí na střední školu, je stále obklopen fantasy příběhy, které četl jako dítě, příběhy zasazenými do magické země jménem Filorie. Představte si jeho překvapení, když se náhle nečekaně dostane na velmi tajnou, velmi exkluzivní školu kouzel v severní části New Yorku, kde získá skvělé vzdělání v moderním čarodějnickém řemesle. Ale kouzla Quentinovi nepřinesou takové štěstí a dobrodružství, o jakém snil. Ukazuje se, že země Quentinových snů je mnohem temnější a nebezpečnější, než si vůbec dokázal představit. Jeho dětské sny se stanou noční můrou… V mistrovsky napsaném příběhu se fantazie stává realitou a naopak. Přeložila Jana Rečková.

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.

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? There are no simple answers.
