įive years later, in Ancelstierre, Prince Sameth encounters the necromancer Hedge and his undead minions, which injures Sameth both spiritually and physically. In young-adulthood, she joins the staff of the Clayr's Library, and acquires the Disreputable Dog and with the latter's help, vanquishes a series of monsters in the Library itself. As she lacks the Clayr's precognitive 'Sight', she considers herself not a true Clayr and prefers solitude to company. Lirael, the protagonist of the second and third books, is raised as a Clayr, part of a vast family of precognitive women who dwell in a remote glacier within the Old Kingdom. Their children Ellimere and Sameth were going to school in Ancelstierre (similarly to Sabriel) before being expected to take up their duties in the Old Kingdom. Sabriel and Touchstone have married since Sabriel and assumed a measure of control over the Old Kingdom. The book is split into three parts, the first of which is set 14 years after the events in Sabriel the last two parts are set five years after part one.
