Piranesiho dom nie je obyčajná budova. Miestnosti sú neohraničené, chodby nekonečné, steny lemujú tisícky jedinečných sôch. V labyrinte miestností je uväznený oceán. Pri prílive vlny s hukotom dorážajú na schodištia a miestnosti v okamihu zaplaví voda. Piranesi sa však nebojí. Rozumie príboju, a pozná schému labyrintu. Žije, aby svoj dom skúmal.V dome žije ešte jedna osoba – muž označovaný ako Druhý.

Pred niekoľkými storočiami, keď v Anglicku ešte existovala mágia, bol najväčším mágom všetkých čias Havraní kráľ. To on spojil vedomosti féerov a ľudí a vytvoril anglickú mágiu. Teraz, na začiatku 19. storočia, je už len legendou, lebo Anglicko viac v mágiu neverí. Všetko sa zmení, keď sa v kráľovstve zjaví samotársky pán Norrell z Hurtfewského opátstva. Vďaka nemu sa sochy v Yorskej katedrále začnú pohybovať a rozprávať. Anglickom sa rozšíria správy o návrate mágie a pán Norrell sa presťahuje do Londýna v presvedčení, že musí vláde pomôcť vo vojne proti Napoleonovi. Stretne šikovného mladého mága Jonathana Strangea, ktorého prijme za žiaka. Mladík je šarmantný, bohatý a arogantný a ich partnerstvo sa čoskoro zmení na súperenie.
