He was the boy who shouldn't have been magic. Now, he's the only one who can save it. Alistair Finch's life is a study in grey. Orphaned and passed between indifferent relatives, he is plagued by a strange chill that doctors cannot explain. His only comfort is the worn, star-embroidered blanket left to him by his mother, and the whispered memory of her lullabies. He is convinced he is a freak, destined for a life of quiet misery in his cupboard under the stairs. But on his twelfth birthday, a storm brings a visitor. A woman with hawk-like eyes and a cloak that drinks the light appears, claiming to be a Guardian from a hidden magical world. She tells Alistair a truth that shatters his reality: the cold he carries is not a sickness. It is power. He is a Star-Catcher, a mage who draws magic from starlight-a lineage thought extinct for centuries. Whisked away to the Celestial Athenaeum, a wondrous school housed in a sentient castle that orbits the Earth, Alistair is plunged into a world of cosmic wonders and ancient dangers. He befriends Cassiopeia, a girl who speaks to ink, and Theo, a boy whose shadow has a mind of its own. But a shadow is falling over this magical society. The Umbral Lord, a being of pure void defeated ages ago by the first Star-Catchers, is stirring. His followers, the Shrouded, are hunting for a legendary artifact known as the Shadowglass-a mirror with the power to unmake reality itself. As Alistair struggles to control a magic that has not been seen in an age, he uncovers a chilling secret buried in his own past. To protect his new home and friends, he must master the very starlight others fear and uncover the truth about the Shadowglass before the last light in the universe is snuffed out forever. The Magicians will be captivated by this breathtaking new fantasy series that explores the magic found in friendship, the courage in embracing who you are, and the timeless battle between light and the shadows that seek to consume it.
