The Old Kingdom, on the other hand, is steeped in magic, myth, and medieval tech with a few exceptions. Ancelstierre is roughly analogous to turn-of-the-century England and contains no magic, except very close to the Wall. Necromancers, Charter mages, and free magic users all exist behind the Wall, a mysterious border between the Old Kingdom and Ancelstierre. I’ve never been particularly into zombie stories, but the world of the Abhorsen is captivating. It’s one of my favorite series, full stop. Clariel is the newest addition to Garth Nix’s Abhorsen series, which also contains Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, and several novellas and short stories.
