A long-awaited prequel to a classic fantasy series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the Old Kingdom, a land of ancient and often terrible magics, eighteen-year-old orphan Terciel learns the art of necromancy from his great-aunt Tizanael. But not to raise the Dead, rather to lay them to rest. He is the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, and Tizanael is the Abhorsen, the latest in a long line of people whose task it is to make sure the Dead do not return to Life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAcross the Wall in Ancelstierre, a steam-age country where magic usually does not work, nineteen-year-old Elinor lives a secluded life, her only friends an old governess and an even older groom who was once a famous circus performer. Her mother is a tyrant, who is feared by all despite her sickness and impending death . . . but perhaps there is even more to fear from that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElinor does not know she is deeply connected to the Old Kingdom, nor that magic can sometimes come across the Wall, until a plot by an ancient enemy of the Abhorsens brings Terciel and Tizanael to Ancelstierre. In a single day of fire and death and loss, Elinor finds herself set on a path which will take her into the Old Kingdom, into Terciel's life, and will embroil her in the struggle of the Abhorsens against the Dead who will not stay dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChildren’s \/ Teenage fiction and true stories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAge: From 14 to 99 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarth Nix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e416 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH: 234mm W: 153mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 504 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41204994277526,"sku":"9781760878818","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4978\/0118\/products\/9781760878818.jpg?v=1639215402","url":"https:\/\/www.tawabooksandpost.co.nz\/products\/terciel-and-elinor","provider":"Tawa Books \u0026 Post","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
