1806: England is beleaguered by Napoleon, and it is centuries since magic has faded into the past. But one practicing magician still remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey. Discovered and challenged to perform, Norrell proceeds to London, where he enters the war, summoning a fleet of ghostly ships to terrify the French. Yet Norrell is soon challenged by the emergence of another: the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome, daring, Strange is the opposite of the cautious, fussy Norrell. Still, Norrell agrees to take Strange as his pupil, and the young magician joins England's cause. But as Strange's powers grow, so do his ambitions. He becomes obsessed with the founder of English magic, the Raven King, and in his increasingly reckless pursuit of his craft he risks everything he holds dear.
