Desperate Alerans even pledge fealty to the Vord Queen to survive, turning the incredible power of Aleran furies back on their own people. Yet his people must continue to resist an invading inhuman army. The aging First Lord of Alera has fallen in battle. This will strain their fragile accord - but the worst is yet to come. Then he discovers the invading Canim warriors are harbingers of a far greater threat.Īfter bitter fighting, Tavi of Calderon has eventually forged an alliance with Alera's oldest foes, the savage Canim, and he must escort them on their long sea-voyage home. Tavi of Calderon, now captain of his own Legion, has been fighting a bitter war for two years.

Kalare has also seized valuable hostages that could mean the difference between victory and failure. Ill-equipped to face this attack, Gaius must seek support - even from the combative High Lord of Aquitaine. Power-hungry Kalare has rebelled against Alera's aging First Lord, Gaius Sextus. But he is far from safe, as trying to keep up the illusion of being a student while secretly training as one of the First Lord's spies is a dangerous game. Tavi has escaped the Calderon Valley and the mysterious attack of the Marat on his homeland.

But now, Gaius Sextus, First Lord of Alera, grows old and lacks an heir. Sabriel leaves Wyverley College and travel into the mytical land of the Old Kongdom.For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water and metal. The unded messanger gives her the Abhorsen's bandelier of bells, the Abhorsen's sword and a map of the Old Kingdom. He tells her that she is to take on the role of Abhorsen and defeat Kerrigor, a powerful necromancer, who is attempting to make his way back into Life. Sabriel notices it is attempting to communicate, its a messanger from her father, the Abhorsen, who is past the Seventh Gate of Death. An undead creature enters their dormitory. Sabriel is in her last year at Wyverley College, a private school in Ancelstierre that lies close to the wall to the Old Kingdom. This last titbit is officially denied by the government of Ancelstierre and disbelieved by most of their inhabitants.

The Old Kingdom has a more medieval technological level, but they do have both Free magic and Charter Magic. Ancelstierre has a technology level and society similar to that of early-20th century England. Two neighbouring countries are divided by a wall, Ancelstierre to the south and the Old Kingdom to the north.
