The novel is set in two neighbouring fictional countries: To the south lies Ancelstierre, which has a technology level and society similar to that of early-20th century England, and to the north lies the Old Kingdom, where magic works and dangerous spirits roam the land - a fact officially denied by the government of Ancelstierre and disbelieved by most of Ancelstierre's inhabitants. It was written in 1995 and is succeeded by Lirael, Abhorsen and two more books (yet to be written). It focuses on the journey of Sabriel as she inherits her destiny - Abhorsen, the destroyer of the Dead. The first book in 'The Old Kingdom series' (also known as the Abhorsen Trilogy in North America) written by Australian author Garth Nix.
