Around the World in Eighty Days is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872. The story revolves around Phileas Fogg, a wealthy English gentleman who lives a meticulously ordered life in London. Despite his wealth, Fogg is solitary and mysterious, adhering to precise routines and mathematical precision. His life takes an unexpected turn when he accepts a wager from his fellow club members at the Reform Club: £20,000 (equivalent to £1.9 million in 2019) that he can circumnavigate the globe in 80 days.

Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom - a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials - and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight.
