- It is six months since the cataclysmic events of Abhorsen and Nicholas Sayre is desperate to return to the Old Kingdom. All he has to do is spend a weekend in a country house as a favour for his uncle Edward, chief minister of Ancelstierre. The house holds many secrets, the worst is a relic of the Old Kingdom, too far from the wall for any spark of its magical life to reignite - unless someone unleashes its power.
