Publisher's Summary

Lirael has never felt like a true daughter of the Clayr. Abandoned by her mother, ignorant of her father's identity, Lirael resembles no one else in her large extended family living in the Clayr's glacier. She doesn't even have the Sight, the ability to See into the present and possibly futures, that is the very birthright of the Clayr.

Nonetheless, it is Lirael in whose hands the fate of the Old Kingdom lies. She must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil, one that opposes the Royal Family, blocks the Sight of the Clayr, and threatens to break the very boundary between Life and Death itself. With only her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog to help her, Lirael must find the courage to seek her own hidden destiny.

Highly Recommend

I read this series in high school. I’m returning back to it as an adult and was not disappointed. Tim Curry can do no wrong and made a childhood favourite come to life. Do you enjoy dark fantasy stories, following strong lead female bookworms battling zombies, set in a totally unique world? This one’s for you. Thank you, Garth Nix.

Superb!!

Wonderful storytelling by Garth Nix and narration by Tim Curry. Mogget and The Disreputable Dog have all the best lines.
