"In the darkness something was happening at last. A voice had begun to sing."
Witness the spectacular birth of a world in The Magician's Nephew, the enchanting prequel that unlocks the deepest secrets of C.S. Lewis’s legendary universe. Before the wardrobe, before the White Witch, and before the Pevensie children, the magic began with Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer.
Tricked by Digory’s wicked, sorcerous Uncle Andrew into experimenting with magic rings, the two children are cast out of Victorian London and thrust into the Wood between the Worlds—a quiet, surreal crossroads leading to infinite realms. Their accidental journey plunges them into Charn, a dying world where they accidentally awaken Jadis, a ruthless sorceress destined to become the tyrannical White Witch.
In a desperate race to contain this ancient evil, Digory and Polly are pulled into a dark, empty void. There, they witness a breathtaking miracle: the great lion Aslan singing Narnia into existence, bringing forth stars, talking animals, and lush green valleys from absolute nothingness.
