It's not fair. Kim's always lived in the shadow of his younger sister, Eila - which is not how it's supposed to be. Eila is a prodigy, and everyone talks about how smart she is but, in Kim's eyes, she has no common sense. One day Kim and Eila are walking in the woods, and Eila finds an enigmatic, otherworldly object. Kim thinks it's bad news . . . but Eila begins to commune with it. Kim has every reason to be worried, because soon Eila is able to control the minds of everyone around her - in ways she says is the best for everyone.

Odo (seventh child of the village miller) and Eleanor (always looking for adventure) stumble upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. Eleanor (strong and able) tries to extract the sword but is unable to, and it is Odo who is surprisingly successful. It is even more surprising that the sword, once pulled out, starts to talk. And rather annoying when the talking sword turns out to be rather grumpy, stubborn and, at times, catastrophically wrong....

Sir Odo and Sir Eleanor still think of themselves as unlikely knights. But when their kingdom is threatened by forces of significant nefariousness, they and their talking swords join a bold quest to rescue a monarch, vanquish deadly beasts, confound a prophecy, and (if they're lucky) avoid stepping on the tail of a very powerful dragon.

Lirael, abbandonata dalla madre in tenera età e senza aver mai conosciuto il suo vero padre, ha sempre vissuto come un'estranea tra coloro che abitano il Ghiacciaio del Clayr. Adesso, dopo due anni passati nell'attesa di ricevere la Vista - il dono di vedere il futuro e prevenire così avvenimenti tragici che spetta di diritto a tutti i Clayr -, Lirael non può fare a meno di chiedersi chi sia veramente e quale sia il suo posto nel mondo, e per scoprirlo si rinchiude in se stessa, dedicandosi esclusivamente al lavoro nella Grande Biblioteca.
