Goldenhand

The long-awaited fifth installment in Garth Nix's New York Times bestselling Old Kingdom series, for readers who enjoy series by Rae Carson, Kristin Cashore, Scott Westerfeld, and Cassandra Clare. Goldenhand takes place six months after the events of Abhorsen and follows the novella Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case, which is featured in Across the Wall. Lirael lost one of her hands in the binding of Orannis, but now she has a new hand, one of gilded steel and Charter Magic.
On a dangerous journey, Lirael returns to her childhood home, the Clayr's Glacier, where she was once a Second Assistant Librarian. There, a young woman from the distant North brings her a message from her long-dead mother, Arielle. It is a warning about the Witch with No Face. But who is the Witch, and what is she planning? 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.
The Next Abhorsen: Lirael has a new golden hand of steel and Charter Magic, but with her new powers comes a solemn duty she must not refuse. A Message from the Grave: A mysterious messenger arrives at the Clayr's Glacier with a cryptic warning from Lirael's mother, Arielle-a witch who has been dead for years. A Journey Into Death: The ultimate battle must be waged not just in the world of the living, but in a perilous realm where the Dead hunger for life and only an Abhorsen dares to walk.
A Long-Awaited Sequel: Continue the unforgettable story six months after the epic conclusion of Abhorsen in the fifth installment of Garth Nix's beloved Old Kingdom series.
