What this book is about
Sabriel is the Abhorsen's daughter — trained in the magic of bells that command the dead. When her father goes missing in the Old Kingdom, she must cross the Wall into a land where the dead walk freely and magic is real. Nix's debut is one of epic fantasy's great worldbuilding achievements.
