Can I get a quick summary that doesn't reveal as much as Wiki would?

The author (Garth Nix) takes a very original perspective on magic and combines it with necromancy to fuel the series. The main character of the first book is a girl named Sabriel. Her father is the Abhorsen - basically a good necromancer (the Abhorsen is in charge of putting the dead back to rest, combating the bad deeds of necromancers and other dark beings). The Abhorsen (and necromancers) use bells to summon and control the dead. Oh, and death is an actual place..sorta.

It's hard to describe. Nix is a great writer and puts a ton of originality into his work. It's one of my very favorite series ever.

Yea, it was an original world entirely of his own creation, I believe. It was sort of like the Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger trio, how each book had it's own little thing and a lot of stuff got tied up at the end, even though there's gonna be two more books.
