Since childhood, Sabriel has lived outside the walls of the
Old Kingdom, away from the power of Free Magic, and away
from the Dead who refuse to stay dead. But now her father,
the Mage Abhorson, is missing, and Sabriel must cross into
that world to find him. With Mogget, whose feline form hides
a powerful, perhaps malevolent spirit, and Touchstone, a
young Charter Mage, Sabriel travels deep into the Old
Kingdom. There she confronts an evil that threatens much
more than her life' and comes face to face with her own
hidden destiny. . .
Garth Nix's first young adult novel, Sabriel was recently
nominated for the Aurealis Award for Excellence in Science
Fiction in Australia.
