β¦ Synopsis
Quentin Coldwater is
brillant but miserable. He's a senior in high school, and a certifiable
genius, but he's still secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels
he read as a kid, about the adventures of five children in a magical
land called Fillory. Compared to that, anything in his real life just
seems gray and colorless.
Everything changes when Quentin finds
himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college
of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous
education in the practice of modern sorcery. He also discovers all the
other things people learn in college: friendship, love, sex, booze, and
boredom. But something is still missing. Magic doesn't bring Quentin the
happiness and adventure he though it would.
Then, after graduation, he and his friends make a stunning discovery: Fillory is real.
