Bestselling author Garth Nix goes back to the Old Kingdom for the never-before-told romance of Sabriel’s moms and dads, Terciel and Elinor, and the charter magic that brought them together– and threatened to tear them apart.
A long-awaited prequel to a timeless dream series. In the Old Kingdom, a land of ancient and frequently horrible magics, eighteen year-old orphan Terciel discovers the art of mysticism from his great-aunt Tizanael.
Not to raise the Dead, rather to lay them to rest. He is the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, and Tizanael is the Abhorsen, the current in a long line of individuals whose job it is to make certain the Dead do not return to Life.
Throughout the Wall in Ancelstierre, a steam-age nation where magic normally does not work, nineteen year-old Elinor lives a remote life. Her only pals an old governess and an even older groom who was when a popular circus entertainer.
Her mom is an autocrat, who is feared by all in spite of her illness and approaching death … however possibly there is a lot more to fear from that. Elinor does not understand she is deeply linked to the Old Kingdom, nor that magic can in some cases discover the Wall, up until a plot by an ancient opponent of the Abhorsens brings Terciel and Tizanael to Ancelstierre.
In a single day of fire and death and loss, Elinor discovers herself set on a course which will take her into the Old Kingdom, into Terciel’s life, and will involve her in the battle of the Abhorsens versus the Dead who will not remain dead.
* USA Today Bestseller * “One of the best living dream authors. I will never ever get enough of the Old Kingdom.”– Sarah J. Maas, # 1 New York Times bestselling author
