Instead of Princeton, he finds himself invited to study at Brakebills - a secret college of modern-day sorcerers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                    Quentin plunges deep into a secret world of obsession and privilege, a world of freedom and power; and for a while, it seems to answer all Quentin's desires.
