You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Days of Magic, Nights of War''''' (2004) is the second book in a series of five by author [[Clive Barker]], called ''[[The Books of Abarat]]''. This volume contains the adventures of [[Candy Quackenbush]] an ordinary girl from [[Minnesota]], in the strange fantasy world of Abarat. ''Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War'' is followed by, ''[[Absolute Midnight]]'', which will be followed by a fourth and fifth book to complete the saga. The book tied with Steve Burt's ''Oddest Yet'' for the 2004 [[Bram Stoker Award for Best Work for Young Readers]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.horror.org/stokerwinnom.htm#2004|title=Past Stoker Nominees & Winners|publisher=[[Horror Writers Association]]|accessdate=25 October 2009|archive-date=29 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130429182004/http://www.horror.org/stokerwinnom.htm#2004|url-status=dead))</ref>

==Plot summary==
The entire book is spread out over eight weeks of time, compared to the two or three in Book 1, titled simply ''[[Abarat]]''. The book picks up several weeks after the original had left off; [[Candy Quackenbush]] and Malingo the Geshrat (a character introduced in the first book) have traveled from Hour to Hour to evade the bounty hunter Otto Houlihan. Christopher Carrion's whereabouts are revealed only in the second quarter of the book, wherein he plots with the Sacbrood in the Pyramids of Xuxux. Sacbrood are terrifying insects of all shapes and sizes which [[Christopher Carrion]] has been breeding in order to help him create Absolute Midnight. Under the cover produced by the Sacbrood, he expects, the destroyers called the ''Requiax'' will emerge from under the Sea of Izabella (which surrounds the Abarat) and annihilate everything they see, giving Carrion the opportunity to re-organize the world according to his will.

Candy begins to develop powers of great magic, with which she frees the mysterious beings called ''Totemix'' from their imprisonment in the Twilight Palace on the island of Scoriae. Malingo, separated from her on the [[carnival]] island of Babilonium, joins with others of Candy's acquaintance to form a force of resistance against the armies of Midnight. Candy is eventually captured by Letheo, the lizard-boy servant of Christopher Carrion, and taken to the island [[Efreet]].

The enchantress Diamanda, having died of an encounter with a [[monster]], travels as a [[ghost]] to the human world, where she finds her also ghostly husband Henry and with him works to prepare Candy's home town for the [[flood]] resulting from its imminent meeting with the Abarat. When this meeting occurs, Henry's opening of the [[factory farm]] which is the town's only industrial outlet is used as a comment on the variety-deprived lives of chickens raised in such factories.

This book introduces readers to new characters including Finnegan Hob, the would-be husband of Princess Boa, who is discovered by other characters in search of himself. Having persuaded him to give up his vendetta against the Abaratian [[dragon]]s, whom he blames for his fiancée's death, the seekers travel to Efreet, where Candy is held prisoner by Christopher Carrion. They rescue Candy and at her request return her to the human world, where she intends to hide from the Abarat's perils. The two worlds meet in a dramatic [[Climax (narrative)|climax]], wherein it is revealed by the magician Kaspar Wolfswinkel that Princess Boa's [[Soul (spirit)|soul]] is contained within Candy's [[Human body|body]], having been placed there by the Fantomaya in obedience to the belief that Princess Boa, or her [[reincarnation]], could halt the Abarat's progressive degradation and revitalize the Abarat as a whole. Christopher Carrion clashes with his grandmother Mater Motley, having learned that she had concealed Candy's dual [[nature]] from him, and is severely wounded in the process (whether he dies or not is unclear).

Candy and most of the major characters return to the Abarat when it is withdrawn from the human world. There, Mater Motley assumes control of Gorgossium Island, where she executes all of Christopher Carrion's living supporters. The remains of Kaspar Wolfswinkel's six hats, the source of his power, are left in the human world.
