Magic: The Gathering novels make a return with the new novel, Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos, by the Hugo award-winning author Seanan McGuire. This new novel accompanies the Magic set, Secrets of Strixhaven, and helps add new dimensions to the world of Magic: The Gathering. If you're a vorthos who loves the Magic story, this book is for you:
STRIXHAVEN: OMENS OF CHAOS (Random House Worlds hardcover; on sale 4/7) by Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Seanan McGuire.
Set at Strixhaven University, one of Magic’s most beloved planes, OMENS OF CHAOS expands the world players know from the cards into a full-length novel about a new incoming class navigating rival colleges, dangerous magic, and the long shadow of the Multiverse-spanning war that reshaped everything. It’s a ground-level, character-driven look at life on Strixhaven—what it means to earn your place, choose your school of magic, and survive long enough to graduate. Even better for Magic collectors and players: the first edition hardcover will include an exclusive Magic: The Gathering collectible card, featuring all-new Strixhaven artwork (while supplies last).
In addition to being one of the most decorated voices in modern speculative fiction, Seanan McGuire has written multiple official Magic short stories and comics, and is a known, outspoken Magic player herself. OMENS OF CHAOS is her first MTG novel—and it reads like a love letter to the game’s lore, planes, and players.
