She also develops a relationship with Touchstone, a young man who turns out to be as crucially involved as she is.
Sabriel goes on a long journey throughout a densely imagined world, learning as she goes, and meeting such strange characters as Mogget, a raging natural force contained in the shape of a cat. She does not know that it is wracked by struggle (like that in Ursula LeGuin's The Farthest Shore)-a magician has brought chaos by refusing to die and hopes to use Sabriel and her father to further consolidate his power. But when her father is somehow trapped in Death, she must journey into the Old Kingdom to find him. She and her father are also highly skilled necromancers, who fight the dead who seek to return to Life. Sabriel is her last year at Wyverley College, a private school in Ancelstierre, where Magic does not work, but near the Border with the Old Kingdom, where it does.
