Lirael

When the Dead do walk, seek water’s run...

This spellbinding sequel to Sabriel is filled with discovery, destiny, and danger. Lirael has never quite fit in. Everything about her from her looks, her use of magic, and her lack of the Sight stands in stark contrast to her cousins of the Clayr. Despite this, the fate of the kingdom lies in her hands. She and her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog, undertake a desperate mission to defeat the growing shadow of an ancient evil near the wall. With the help of an unlikely ally, they engage in a fearsome battle. This story delivers amazing world building that I love to read again and again.
