The highly anticipated new novel from the multi-award-winning Garth Nix, set in the Old Kingdom, is now available in paperback! Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo will be thrilled to delve into this captivating world.

In a realm where the dead refuse to rest, eighteen-year-old orphan Terciel possesses a formidable and terrifying power: necromancy. For he is the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, the latest in an ancient line of necromancers responsible for safeguarding the Old Kingdom and preventing the Dead from crossing over to the realm of the living.

Across the Wall in Ancelstierre, where magic seldom manifests, Elinor, nineteen, leads a secluded life. However, when destiny intervenes, she embarks on a journey of magic, romance, and a fierce battle against the Undead who refuse to remain lifeless.

Elinor is unaware of her deep connection to the Old Kingdom until destiny guides her along a path of enchantment, love, and a relentless struggle against the Dead who refuse to stay in their graves.
