English Summary/英文概要： When the future is unclear, who holds the key to destiny? Sequel to the spellbinding, award-winning fantasy adventure, SABRIEL.
Lirael has never felt like a true daughter of the Clayr. Abandoned by her mother and ignorant of her father’s identity, Lirael resembles no one else in her large, extended family living in the Clayr’s Glacier. She doesn’t even have the Sight – the ability to See into the present and possible futures – that is the very birthright of the Clayr. Nonetheless, it is Lirael in whose hands the fate of the Old Kingdom lies. she must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil – one that opposes the Royal Family, blocks the Sight of the Clayr, and threatens to break the very boundary between Life and Death itself. With only her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog, to help her, Lirael must find the courage to seek her own hidden destiny. Garth Nix draws readers deeper into the magical landscape of the Old Kingdom and weaves a spellbinding tale of discovery, destiny and danger.

Awards/获奖情况：在Nix所写的塞布里尔的续集里，读者又回到了复杂的老王国：一个充满巫术、预言家、危险的怪物和会说话的动物（灵猫魔杰特又回来了）的世界。王国中现实生物和魔幻生物之间的关系逐渐抽丝剥见揭露出来，但是大家仍然能看到英雄主义的表现。莉瑞尔是唯一一个超能视力社区里没有超能眼能力的女人。14岁生日过后，她将一个叫斯蒂肯的女人（半人类）从水晶棺材里释放出来。她的目标是来寻找莉瑞尔的祖母。整个故事剧情充满未知的可能，莉瑞尔发现她的命运与帅气但有点紧张的赛穆斯王子（塞布里尔的儿子）仅仅相连。故事的结尾出现高潮，Nix留下了许多悬念。魔鬼的势力依然强大，读者预知后事如何，还必须等到该系列的第三部问世。第三部的名字为Abhorson。——出版者周刊

About the Author/作者介绍： 贾斯.尼克斯（GARTH NIX）出生于澳洲首都坎培拉，拥有坎培拉大学专业写作学士学位。毕业后曾在书店工作，后升职为行销经理和公关，继而进入跨国大型出版社任资深编辑。他于1993年赴东欧、中东和亚洲旅游，返回雪梨后担任公关顾问，与朋友合资成立经济公司，并投入全职写作，期间曾兼任文学经济人，现专职写作。
贾斯.尼克斯的奇幻代表作《莎贝尔—冥界之钥》（Sabriel）1995年首先于澳洲问世，其后相继在英美等地出版，不但缔造销售佳绩，并获得各大媒体和书评家的肯定。之后尼克斯与卢卡斯影业公司（LucasFilm）合作，为Scholastics出版社撰写儿童奇幻冒险故事[第七高塔]（The Seventh Tower）系列，大大扩展了他的读者群和知名度。 Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing ’Hail the Conquering Hero Comes’ or possibly ’Roll Out the Barrel’. Garth left Melbourne at an early age for Canberra (the federal capital) and stayed there till he was nineteen, when he left to drive around the UK in a beat-up Austin with a boot full of books and a Silver-Reed typewriter.
Despite a wheel literally falling off the Austin, Garth survived to return to Australia and study at the University of Canberra. After finishing his degree in 1986 he worked in a bookshop, then as a book publicist, a publisher’s sales representative, and editor. Along the way he was also a part-time soldier in the Australian Army Reserve, serving in an Assault Pioneer platoon for four years. Garth left publishing to work as a public relations and marketing consultant from 1994-1997, till he became a full-time writer in 1998. He did that for a year before joining Curtis Brown Australia as a part-time literary agent in 1999. In January 2002 Garth went back to dedicated writer again, despite his belief that full-time writing explains the strange behaviour of many authors.
He is now an award-winning author and one of the most influential names in contemporary fantasy.
Garth lives in a beach suburb of Sydney, with his wife Anna, a publisher, their two sons and a lot of books.
