In 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. Across 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. Elinor 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. ' There is no joy like returning to the Old Kingdom. ' - Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows

Praise for The Old Kingdom: ' There is no joy like returning to the Old Kingdom. Once again, Nix sets the standard for fantasy, bringing us a tale full of old friends and new enemies, gruesome monsters, and heroines of wit, will, and imagination. ' (Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows) ' Goldenhand reaffirms why Nix is a master of the genre: his exquisitely detailed world-building is unparalleled, and his characters are so tremendously alive and compelling that I' m convinced there' s Charter Magic in every word. ' (Sarah J. Maas, author of the best-selling Throne of Glass series) ' Garth Nix is one of the best worldbuilders in fantasy, and this book is merely further proof. I love the Old Kingdom series, and Goldenhand is an excellent continuation, packed with the excitement and passion of a storytelling virtuoso at the height of his abilities. ' (Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn trilogy, Warbreaker, The Alloy of Law, The Way of Kings, Rithmatist, and Steelheart. ) ' Beautifully written, magnificently imagined, and wholly original. ' ? Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King ' Garth Nix' s Old Kingdom books have influenced a generation of fantasy writers. ' ? Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Artifices trilogy
