Lirael (Old Kingdom #2)
Author(s): Garth Nix
Dark forces are abroad once more in the Old Kingdom. Lirael, solitary daughter of the Clayr, and Sameth, the reluctant Abhorsen-in-Waiting, both seek the same man who may hold the key to an ancient evil stirring. But the Dead can't be laid to rest until the secret linking their fates is revealed.
Set in the same dark, magical world as Garth Nix's award-winning Sabriel and Abhorsen, this is a spellbinding tale of discovery, destiny and danger, from an exceptional fantasy talent.
