Daughter of the Clayr - Sequel to 'Sabriel'.
Lirael, daughter of the Clayr, is set apart from her kin because she lacks the gift of Sight. Working alone in the Great Library in their icy mountain home, she has perfected powers of Charter Magic that few can match. But still she yearns to claim her birthright.
Prince Sameth, son of the great Abhorsen, Sabriel, is trained from birth in the arts of necromancy - trained to combat the Dead. But duty weighs heavily on him, and he longs to escape his destiny. Now an ancient evil is stirring. Necromancers and their Shadow Hands are abroad once more in the Old Kingdom. Lirael and Sameth, with their eccentric companions, Disreputable Dog and Moggett, find their paths converging in a desperate mission to protect the Royal Family, the Clayr - even the boundary between Life and Death itself.
What strange secret links their fate, and can they find the courage and self-knowledge to fulfill their destiny?
Set in the same dark, magical world as Garth Nix's award-winning 'Sabriel', this is a spellbinding tale of discovery, destiny and danger.
