from master of fantasy and globally bestselling author Garth Nix with original

A

spellbinding tale of discovery, destiny, and danger in the sequel to Sabriel.

Lirael has

never felt like a true daughter of the Clayr. Now, two years past the time when

she should have received the Sight that is the Clayr's birthright, she feels

alone, abandoned, unsure of who she is. Nevertheless, the fate of the Old

Kingdom lies in her hands. With only her faithful companion, the Disreputable

Dog, Lirael must undertake a desperate mission against the growing shadow of an

ancient evil.

Dive into

a tale of dark magic and destiny.

"Riveting.

Readers who like their fantasy intense in action, magisterial in scope, and

apocalyptic in consequences will revel in every word." --Kirkus Reviews (starred

review)

"Haunting

and unusual, exhaustively and f lawlessly conceived. A must-read for fans of

the first book, Lirael will also fascinate readers new to the series." --SLJ
