The seventh tower castle6/27/2023 Tal is able to construct a miniature Veil in time to hide them, but accidentally binds Adras, his Spiritshadow, into it. As Tal and Crow prepare to depart, they are assaulted by numerous unbound Spiritshadows. Eventually they reach the Red Keystone and discover Lector Jarnil's cousin Lokar trapped inside. They also solve a puzzle of tiles to prevent any alarms from ringing out. To prevent the Veil from failing, Tal, accompanied by the Freefolk leader Crow, climb the Red Tower and defeat the deadly Keeper. Most of the Chosen leave the Castle due to the Day of Ascension. They also learn that the Veil is maintained by the seven Keystones which lie at the top of each of the seven towers. He deals in unsavory matters and commands others under the authority of the Empress. Tal and Milla learn more about the intricacies of Castle politics, including that Sushin, a Shadowmaster of the Orange, is the Dark Vizier of the Empress. They also meet Lector Jarnil, a famous teacher. While Shadowmaster Sushin maintains control over higher ranked chosen, Tal and Milla travel through the Castle's depths where they encounter the Freefolk, a group of the servant class Underfolk who possess a great hatred for all the Chosen. Above the Veil is the fourth children's book in Garth Nix's The Seventh Tower series, published in 2001 by Scholastic.
