Darwath

Darwath is the immortal, enigmatic protagonist of Barbara Hambly’s The Magicians series, a dark fantasy exploring the intersection of magic and academia. The series blends the sensibilities of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, employing a cynical, often grimly humorous tone as Darwath navigates the treacherous world of magical schools and ancient secrets. It’s distinguished by its layered mythology and focus on the complex, morally grey experiences of its students.
