Both are fantastic female protagonists, and each have distinct voices. While we follow Sabriel in the first book, we primarily follow Lirael in the following two. At the beginning of the book, Sabriel goes in search for her father after he fails to show up for scheduled visit. It may go to a niece or nephew, instead of a daughter or son. It is a hereditary position, although not necessarily from a direct bloodline. The Abhorsen protects the world against the Dead by using bells to control them. In book one we meet the titular Sabriel, a young woman and daughter to the Abhorsen. There is also a prequel to the triolgy, Clariel, which was released in 2014 and a sequel, Goldenhand, which was released in 2016. Written by Australian author Garth Nix, the Abhorsen trilogy is set in the fictional fantasy world of the Old Kingdom and Ancelstierre.
