Lyra is alone, in the ruins of a deserted city. Pantalaimon has run from her in search of her imagination, which he believed she’s lost. Lyra has travelled across the world from her Oxford home in search of her demon. And Malcolm journeyed far from home too, searching for her.
Soon, their quests converge and they must take help from spies and thieves, gryphons and witches, old friends and new, learning all the while the surprising truths of the alethiometer. All around them, the world is aflame - made terrifying by fear, power and greed.
As they move East, towards the red building that will reunite them and give them answers, so too does the Magisterium, at war against all that Lyra holds dear.
