Dog, Lirael must undertake a desperate mission against the growing shadow of an
ancient evil.
Dive into
a tale of dark magic and destiny.
“Riveting.
Readers who like their fantasy intense in action, magisterial in scope, and
apocalyptic in consequences will revel in every word.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred
review)










“Haunting
and unusual, exhaustively and f lawlessly conceived. A must-read for fans of
the first book, Lirael will also fascinate readers new to the series.” —SLJ
