This is the third book in Garth Nix’s Old Kingdom Trilogy that was published by Allen and Unwin and the book’s ISBN number is 1 74114 307 1 and this story tells us what is happening with the Abhorsen that is called Sabriel and her husband who is King Touchstone, but they aren’t in the main part of the story until virtually the very end when they meet up with Sabriel’s half sister Lirael and their son who is called Prince Sameth, as they and others had to help Lirael stop what is known as The Destroyer becoming whole and Lirael succeeds in doing this.

Lirael also found out much of Hedge’s plan through Nick as he told Lirael about the Lightning Farm when she and her canine companion tried to help Nick to escape from Hedge.

But then after Lirael had told Nick a bit about herself which she realized was a mistake, as it brought The Destroyor out and back in control Lirael then found that she had to leave Nick behind after she’d worked out how to get herself out of trouble as The Destroyer temporarily restricted her movement.

Then once free of the power of The Destroyer Lirael then found Sam, and the others and told them what she had learnt from Nick who was Sam’s friend. And Lirael then decided after letting them know of Hedge’s plan that what needed to be done was to head to a country called Ancelstierre: as she wanted to get to the place where the Lightning Farm was before Hedge did.

But they practically get there at the same time and it was to late to dismantle the Lightning Farm, and Lirael knew she then had to go back into death so she could look back into the past, as it was only when she was in death that she could use the instrument she had that enable her to look back into the past. And Lirael really needed to do it as she needed to find out what was to be done.
