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.

Far to the south of the peaceful Bellwoods, where Jon-Tom the spellsinger continues trying to master the art of turning music into magic, a sinister force has awakened: a magician with great ambition and unheard-of power. He summons lightning to do his bidding, commands an army of faceless flying demons, and claims to come from another world — one Jon-Tom suspects might be his own. If he can somehow reason with the unknown magician, perhaps they can combine their talents and find a way to go home together.

Jon-Tom has been trapped in a strange land of talking owls and wizarding turtles for a year now, his sole consolation that in this universe his musical abilities have inadvertently made him something of a sorcerer. But when an encounter with some burglars leads to him snapping the magical duar that channels his power, he finds himself an ordinary human again — on a quest to repair his instrument with nothing but his staff and his semi-faithful, ever-complaining otter sidekick to defend him.
