Lyra Belacqua spends her days running free through the halls of Jordan College, with her loyal daemon, Pantalaimon, never far away.
But when her powerful uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with alarming news, Lyra is swept into a dark and dangerous world — one filled with missing children, witch clans, and fearsome armoured bears.
Her journey to the frozen North will uncover secrets she never imagined, and lead her to a destiny that could change everything. (Book 1)
