The only other place where Quentin has seen the symbol that is now burned into his hand is in one of Alice’s books. She’s been researching how to contact the “other side.” And it turns out, Penny and his girlfriend also get a sense that they should be helping Alice, and it leads them all to the same place.

In light of the upcoming premiere of The Magicians (Monday, January 25 at 9/8c) producers Sera Gamble, John McNamara and best-selling author Lev Grossman spoke exclusively to Buzzfeed.com about bringing their vision for the show to life through Syfy.

McNamara on being inspired by the books:

“I was, like, 'I feel like I know what’s going to happen from page one,'" he said, "And boy, did I not. Boy did I not expect the depth, and the challenges to one’s own precepts about heroism, cowardice, destiny — everything.”
