Here's a test chapter to see if people keep reading the story.
Sam was looked at Lirael, shock evident on his face, "Must Astarael be rung to open the desk?"
Lirael nodded, "It is the only way. I will do it."
Sam flung out his hand in front of his aunt, "No!" he cried, "You cannot ring Astarael. You will die. My mother will have no Abhorsen in Waiting. No secret is worth your life."
"Who will wield the bell then?" Lirael asked, "Sam! I need to know the answer to this."
Sam frowned again, "Lirael! Have some sense. There is no reason to kill yourself. Then you will not know the answer. Why is this so important to you?"
Lirael sighed, "I just- have a feeling. It may be important. What if it is the key to solving a puzzle?"
"Maybe that puzzle should remain unsolved. Maybe it isn't a puzzle at all." Sam hissed.
"Why would a there be a clue if there wasn't a puzzle?"

The next day, a message hawk arrived from Sabriel.
"Lirael and Sam," it began:
"I am afraid that there is trouble near the wall. Many new dead are being raised. I am afraid there is a new necromancer at work. When I was fighting one of the greater dead, named, Anclar, it said it was the servant of Clariel. Maybe there is a connection between your Clariel and this Clariel, be it a necromancer or one of the greater dead. I think you should come up to the Wall.
Sabriel."
