The Magicians

　　原本要去參加大學入學甄試的昆汀，莫名其妙發現甄試老師躺在血泊中，旁邊擺著指名給他的文件。

　　昆汀是個數學天才，卻覺得自己生錯了世界，真實生活讓他失望透頂。唯一能為他抵擋現實的，是一套他從小著迷的奇幻小說－－《費洛瑞之書》。

　　當他意外被魔法學校接受，他的夢想成真了！在這所隱形校園中，他學習精深的咒語和技藝，能召喚能量改變自然現象、能控制粒子排列起死回生。他有一個知己女友和一群同伴，一切完美得很不真實。

　　然後，一顆神奇的鈕扣出現了。

　　這顆鈕釦是通往費洛瑞的機關，證實了童話王國真實存在。他們急急踏入新世界冒險。

　　只是昆汀萬萬沒想到，這一連串經歷只是一場陰謀。一場由費洛瑞設計的陰謀……。

　　The New York Times bestselling novel about a young man practicing magic in the real world

　　Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic in upstate New York. There he indulges in joys of college-friendship, love, sex, and booze- and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn't bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would. After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfill Quentin's yearning. But their journey turns out to be darker and more dangerous than they'd imagined. Psychologically piercing and dazzlingly inventive, The Magicians is an enthralling coming-of-age tale about magic practiced in the real world-where good and evil aren't black and white, and power comes at a terrible price.
