Lirael, a young woman who is not exactly sure who she is or if she can even face the challenges that have been bestowed upon her, searches for a way to stop an evil that has been brewing for centuries. She and her companions, the Disreputable Dog; whose origin is a mystery to Lirael, Sameth; a young Prince who has to live up to something he is not and can never be, and Mogget a conceited white cat; who has been a servant of the Abhorsen for many millenia set out on a journey all too dangerous and mysterious in an attempt to save everthing from certain destruction.
The review of this Book prepared by Disreputable Dog
The book starts off where Lirael left off: with Sameth and Lirael (now the Abhorsen in waiting) at Abhorsen's house, which is besieged.
Because the true Abhorsen, Sameth's mother, Sabriel, is in Ascelstierre (the mid-thirties type Earth setting), it is up to Lirael and Sameth and their two compainions Mogget, the bound-in-cat-form servant of the Abhorsens, and the Disreputable Dog to stop an evil necromancer called Hedge from using dead "hands" (reanimated corpses, really) to dig up Orannis, an evil powerful enough to destroy the world.
