The second volume in the ground-breaking His Dark Materials
trilogy, now with a breath-taking new cover
creatively directed and photographed by the legendary Rankin.
Will has just killed a man. He's on the run.
His escape will take him far beyond his own world, to the eerie
disquiet of a deserted city, and to a girl, Lyra. Her fate is strangely
linked to his own, and together they must find the most
powerful weapon in all the worlds...
Rankin's lens has exquisitely captured the bond between
character and daemon; the soul of the stories
