The Prestige
The Prestige

Rival magicians' dark, deceitful, generational legacy.

If you're intrigued by intense rivalries entwined with the allure of stage magic, "The Prestige" beckons you. Christopher Priest deftly entangles suspense with the fineries of illusion, leading not just to a series of dramatic crescendos but to a lasting enigma that challenges perception. Prepare for a narrative woven with such craft that, like the art of the magicians it portrays, it promises to beguile and astonish in equal measure.

Description

In 1878, two young stage magicians clash in the dark during the course of a fraudulent séance. From this moment on, their lives become webs of deceit and revelation as they vie to outwit and expose one another. Their rivalry will take them to the peaks of their careers, but with terrible consequences. In the course of pursuing each other's ruin, they will deploy all the deception their magicians' craft can command--the highest misdirection and the darkest science. Blood will be spilled, but it will not be enough. In the end, their legacy will pass on for generations...to descendants who must, for their sanity's sake, untangle the puzzle left to them.
