In a world full of necromancers, the Abhorsen reverses their work. When he gets trapped in Death by the necromancer Kerrigor, he sends a package to his daughter Sabriel, who resides across the Wall, a barrier separating the magical Old Kingdom from Ancelstierre.
When Sabriel receives the Abhorsen’s necromancy bells and ensorcelled sword, she sets out across the Wall, unwillingly assuming the title of Abhorsen. At first determined to find her father, she fights her way through Dead Hands and Mordicants, all the way to the Abhorsen’s House. There she finds Mogget, a Free Magic elemental in the shape of a cat. Mogget, who served the Abhorsens for thousands of years, sheds some light on the strange goings-on of the raised Dead, and helps her escape the Mordicant literally waiting at the gates.

J. K. Rowling has once again penned an amazing story that even surprised people who had been speculating and theorizing about the series for years. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, released on July 21, 2007, is the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter Septology. JKR’s narrative is brilliant, and the characters believable. Personally, I like Deathly Hallows better than it’s predecessor, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, though it’s not my favorite of the series. Can one really have a favorite among seven amazing books? If I had to choose a favorite, it would probably be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

You heard that right. The Site of Requirement has an article up about the whole thing.
Photos of book pages (supposing it’s the real book and not a hoax) were spread through BitTorrent. Scholastic has obtained a court order, with the intent of identifying the book-spoiler. The torrent files have been removed, and the images as [...]

In the first book of Garth Nix’s Keys to the Kingdom series, Arthur Penhaligon (is it just me, or does that sound a bit like Pendragon?) nearly dies from an asthma attack. Oddly enough, he doesn’t. A couple of men dressed in clothes 100 years out-of-date (Mr. Monday and his servant) give him half of [...]
