Description
The Old Kingdom 5 Books Collection by Garth Nix invites readers into a richly woven tapestry of magic, adventure, and self-discovery. This five-book set brings together the Sabriel 25th Anniversary Classic Edition, Lirael, Abhorsen, Clariel and Goldenhand, drawing readers into the Old Kingdom, a world of dark secrets and dangerous magic.
The Plot
In Sabriel, eighteen-year-old Sabriel receives a desperate message from her father, the Abhorsen, who is trapped in Death, and she must enter Death herself to save him. In Lirael, Lirael has never felt like a true daughter of the clairvoyant Clayr, while Prince Sameth dreads one day taking over as Abhorsen from his mother, Sabriel. In Abhorsen, Lirael, Sameth, Mogget and the Disreputable Dog race across the Old Kingdom to stop the Destroyer. The prequel Clariel follows sixteen-year-old Clariel as she struggles with her new life in Belisaere, the capital of the Old Kingdom, and in Goldenhand, Lirael seeks help at the Clayr's Glacier for Nicholas, who is deeply tainted with Free Magic.
Themes
- Self-Discovery: Lirael and Clariel each struggle to find where they belong.
- Magic and Responsibility: The series explores the duality of magic as both an enchanting force and a source of peril.
- Friendship and Loyalty: Relationships play a crucial role in shaping the characters' paths and decisions.
This collection is perfect for fans of fantasy literature, including readers of Philip Pullman. With its engaging narrative and richly developed characters, the Old Kingdom series promises to captivate readers aged 9 and above, inviting them to explore the enchanting yet perilous world within its pages.
