      • bioText: GARTH NIX was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating from the University of Canberra, he worked in a bookshop, then as a book publicist, a publisher's sales representative, and an editor. Along the way, he was also a part-time soldier in the Australian Army Reserve. Nix left publishing to work as a public relations and marketing consultant for three years before becoming a full-time writer in 1998. He currently lives in a beach suburb of Sydney, with his wife Anna, a publisher.

Abhorsen
fullDescription
Before she went to join Sam and Mogget downstairs, Lirael paused for a moment to look at herself in the tall silver mirror that hung on the wall of her room. The image that faced her bore little resemblance to the Second Assistant Librarian of the Clayr. She saw a warlike and grim young woman, dark hair bound back with a silver cord rather than hanging free to disguise her face. She no longer wore her librarian's waistcoat, and she had a long Nehima at her side rather than a library-issue dagger. But she had kept her library whistle, tucking it into the small pouch at her belt. Though she was many, many leagues from any help the whistle might summon, she felt the need to cling to some small part of her past and her identity.
She had become an Abhorsen, Lirael thought, at least on the outside.
