Most hurtful, though, is her lack of the Clayr's birthright, the Sight (the ability to see into the future or possible futures). With raven-black hair, a pale complexion, pointy face, muddy-brown eyes and unknown paternal parentage, she differs physically from the generally deep-tanned, fair-haired, round-faced and blue- or green-eyed seers around her. Lirael sees herself as an outcast within the world of the Clayr. Their offspring Ellimere and Sameth were going to school in Ancelstierre (similarly to Sabriel) before being expected to take up their duties in the Old Kingdom. Sabriel and Touchstone have married since Sabriel and assumed a measure of control over the Old Kingdom. The book is split into three parts, the first of which is set 14 years after the events in Sabriel the last two parts are set five years after part one.
