Overview
The Wizards of Once is a four-book fantasy series from bestselling author-illustrator Cressida Cowell, creator of the How to Train Your Dragon books. Set in a world where magic-wielding wizards and iron-loving warriors have been sworn enemies for generations, the series follows a wizard boy and a warrior princess who must work together to save their world. Packed with Cowell's trademark humor, hand-drawn illustrations, and inventive world-building, this four-book paperback collection carries readers from an unlikely friendship through sweeping battles and an epic fight to bring magic and iron together at last.

About the Books
This collection gathers all four books in Cressida Cowell's The Wizards of Once series, beginning with the story that introduces Xar, a wizard boy desperate to prove his power, and Wish, a warrior princess hiding a dangerous secret. Across Twice Magic, Knock Three Times, and Never and Forever, Cowell expands a richly imagined world of witches, giants, sorcerers, and the mysterious Kingwitch, weaving themes of friendship, courage, and the uneasy balance between magic and machinery. Each book layers new dangers and deeper lore onto the central quest, as Xar and Wish's bond is tested by prophecy, betrayal, and the looming threat of ancient enemies long thought defeated. Cowell's blend of wit, warmth, and whimsical illustrations runs throughout, rewarding readers who follow the series in order. Fans of her How to Train Your Dragon books will recognize the same inventive humor and heart, here set in a brand-new mythical world of wand-waving wizards and iron-clad warriors, building to a satisfying conclusion in the fourth book.
