To Hold the Bridge
Far to the north of the magical Old Kingdom, the Greenwash Bridge Company has been building a bridge for almost a hundred years. It is not an easy task, for many dangers threaten the bridge builders, from nomad raiders to Free Magic sorcerers. Despite the danger, Morghan wants nothing more than to join the Bridge Company as a cadet. But the company takes only the best, the most skillful Charter mages, and trains them hard, for the night might come when only a single young cadet must hold the bridge against many foes. Will Morghan be that cadet?
Also included in this collection are eighteen short stories that showcase Nix's versatility as he adds a fantastical twist on an array of genres including science fiction, paranormal, realistic fiction, mystery, and adventure.

Only the Abhorsen can keep the living safe from the dead...
In this compelling high fantasy series, a young heroine, Sabriel, must first do battle in the realm of Death itself to defeat a powerful enemy. Every step she takes brings her closer to a battle that will pit her against the true forces of life and death – and bring her face-to-face with her own destiny. Later it is Lirael, with only her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog, who must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil, which threatens the fate of the Old Kingdom. Lirael must search in both Life and Death for some means to defeat the evil Destroyer and find the missing Abhorsen Sabriel and the King Touchstone - before it is too late.
