Nicholas is semi-conscious and more aware of what he has been a party to; he reveals his plans of the lightning farm to Lirael but loses control of the power inside him at her mention of the word “Abhorsen”.

The character development is wonderful. Most Dead prey on the living to remain in Life. Because Astarael appears under Abhorsen's House and Kibeth as the Disreputable Dog, it can be inferred that Ranna, Mosrael, Dyrim, Belgaer, and Saraneth became the Five Great Charters. Two hundred years before Sabriel, the reigning Queen and her two daughters were murdered by Kerrigor and their blood used to break two of the six Great Charter Stones. The apocalyptic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Abhorsen series—an epic fantasy experience not to be missed. A good read, and one of Garth Nix's better works. Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen are some of the best YA books out there, and also an excellent addition to the fantasy canon. Three and Five became stone and mortar. There, a young woman from the distant North brings her a message from her long-dead mother, Arielle. On the verge of escaping once more she is rescued and is spirited away to the Abhorsen's estates in the south, only to be locked away by the Abhorsen for her own safety. The Sixth Precinct has no current, and its water is present as a shallow pool. “Terror, courage, bitterness, love, desperation, and sacrifice all swirl together in an apocalyptic climax that pits both Life and Death together against the destruction of everything." Periodic, irresistible waves carry dead creatures through the Gate (a wall of mist), often beyond the final Ninth Gate. More than six million copies of his books have been sold around the world and his work has been translated into forty-two languages.

[ We don't see on the page how Sabriel and Touchstone adjust to the post-Kerrigor Old World, Sabriel dealing with her father's death and her own inheritance of the full role of Abhorsen, or Touchstone coming to terms with his past while experiencing a much different current world, 200 years after everyone he knows and loves have died. Lirael fends of the attack with her use of bells and Charter Magic but before she can finish Chlorr, Mogget taunts her to flee before the sound of Saraneth sends her beyond the final gate of death, and so she does. After climbing for many hours to reach the top, the party finds the remains of a caravan of merchants being eaten by a Ferenk, a subterranean, scavenging creature of Free Magic. Lirael must use her new powers to save the Old Kingdom from this great danger—and it must be forestalled not only in the living world but also in the cold, remorseless river of Death. Marks unsullied by Free Magic are used to identify true Charter Mages (as opposed to Free Magic sorcerers or constructs in disguise). In the process of doing so, Clariel corrupts her Charter Mark, weakening her link with the Charter and her ability to perform Charter Magic, but at the same time allowing her to perform feats of magic using her own raw willpower to shape and control Free Magic. If you haven't read these then you're missing out and should go and read them now! Mogget also reveals the he was there at the beginning of the Charter but did not chose sides, and was captured and bound to forever serve the Abhorsen for his neutrality. Meanwhile, Lirael inherits the artifacts of a Remembrancer (a clairvoyant able to view the past) and is swiftly dispatched to fulfill a very recent vision of herself and Nick Sayre upon the Red Lake.
