A stunning anniversary gift edition of the second in the
bestselling Old Kingdom fantasy series. Sabriel has spent most of
her young life far away from the magical realm of the Old Kingdom,
and the Dead that roam it. But then a creature from across the Wall
arrives at her all-girls boarding school with a message from her
father, the Abhorsen - the magical protector of the realm whose
task it is to bind and send back to Death those that won't stay
Dead. Sabriel's father has been trapped in Death by a dangerous
Free Magic creature. Armed with her father's binding-bells and
sword, she finds companions in Mogget, an ancient spirit bound into
the body of a cat, and Touchstone, a young Charter Mage whom
Sabriel frees from a long, magical imprisonment. As the three
travel deep into the Old Kingdom, threats mount on all sides. And
every step brings them closer to a battle that will pit them
against the true forces of life and death - and bring Sabriel
face-to-face with her own destiny.
