Garth Nix's fantasy masterwork is a compelling high fantasy, the gripping story of a young heroine who must do battle in Death itself to defeat a powerful enemy. A tale of dark secrets, deep love and dangerous magic.

For many years Sabriel has lived outside the walls of the Old Kingdom, away from the random power of Free Magic, and away from the Dead who won't stay dead. But now her father, the Mage Abhorsen, is missing, and to find him Sabriel must cross back into that treacherous world - and face the power of her own extraordinary destiny.

'Sabriel is a winner, a fantasy that reads like realism. Here is a world with the same solidity and four-dimensional authority as our own, created with invention, clarity and intelligence.' - PHILIP PULLMAN

'Passionately exciting, full of intriguing characters and stunning scenery, Sabriel is sheer enjoyment.' - THE TIMES

'Weaving horror and fantasy into a rich, original story . a powerful, gripping quest.' - THE AGE

First discovered as a teenager, this is a fantasy series which stands up to rereading as an adult.

The Old Kingdom fell long ago - lack of a king and an Abhorsen has made it a dangerous place to enter. But when Sabriel's father goes missing one year she has no option but to enter the world she left as a child.
