Quentin is about to jump into the canal to retrieve a magic button that he and Julia need desperately: it’s the only thing that will get them back to Fillory.
Witnessing the deed is a dragon expert, a fetching young woman from Australia named Poppy.
“They hardly ever eat people,” Poppy said. “I mean like twice a century. That we know of.”
— The Magician King, p. 174

Stay tuned.
