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.

Critical Praise for
Sabriel
“Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, this first novel is excellent high fantasy.”
—
Publishers Weekly
“I think Garth Nix has created a really remarkable and persuasive world; and done it in the grand style of heroic romance—with some wonderful twists and turns. His Sabriel is a herione truly worthy of that role.”
—
Lloyd Alexanderm author ofThe Black Cauldron
“By turns rousing, charming and slyly funny, Sabriel is an engaging tale that slays sexual sterotypes along with its monsters.”
—
San Francisco Chronicle
“Sabriel has a fast pace, drama, vivid descriptions, excitement and humour. Packs of putrefying zombies, too. What more could you want?”
—
Guardian Unlimited, Susan Price, author of The Sterkarm Handshake

One beastly beast that's more than meets the eye. Two aliens with slimy tentacles and too many eyes fixed on adopting a human son. Three inventors and a sea serpent, a princess, an orphanage, and two ships full of pirates. Four fantastic tales by renowned fantasy author Garth Nix.
