ORANNIS THE DESTROYER HAS BEEN FREED
AND ONLY LIRAEL, newly come into her inheritance as the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, has any chance of stopping it. She and her companions—Sam, the Disreputable Dog, and Mogget—have to take that chance. If Orannis's unspeakable powers are unleashed, it will mean the end of all Life. With the help of her companions and a vision from the Clayr to guide her, Lirael must search in both Life and Death for some means to defeat the Destroyer—before it is too late...
I stayed up until midnight to finish this. I was not disappointed. A really great ending.
