Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix #1:

The Old Kingdom series (also known as the Abhorsen series in North America) is a trilogy of books by Garth Nix. It begins with Sabriel, followed by Lirael and Abhorsen. In addition, a novella set after the trilogy entitled Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case was released, first separately for World Book Day and later as the lead story of the short story collection Across the Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories. A second short story, An Extract of the Journal of Idrach the Lesser Necromancer, was written with exclusive distribution through the official Abhorsen Trilogy web site. A second novella "To Hold the Bridge" will be released at some point in 2010 as part of a compilation likely titled "Australia’s Legends of Fantasy" edited by Jack Dann and Jonathan Strahan. Garth Nix has announced two additions to the series: a prequel and a "sequel of sorts to Abhorsen". While the sequel is unnamed, the prequel has the working title Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen. The books are slated to appear in 2011.

Did you see that he is writing two more? Guess we'll have to change the thread title ... trilogy won't fit any longer

Not that I know off - only heard rumours that one is called Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen with a release in 2010 or 2011.

He has released a novella set in the universe though. It's called “To Hold the Bridge” - An Old Kingdom story by Garth Nix and you can read an excerpt here

Please add me as well.

I read the book, not bad but not as good as his other work. IMO.

I'll get you added Chrissy

Ah, alright. I thought it might be a nice addition to the series though, we'll see how it goes once I've got it.
