Second in the Dark Materials trilogy. Lyra finds herself in a haunted otherworld where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky. But she and her new ally, 12-year-old Will Parry, discover an object of devastating power, and with every step they move closer to an even greater truth.

*******HIS DARK MATERIALS * IS NOW AN HBO ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING DAFNE KEEN, RUTH WILSON, ANDREW SCOTT, AND LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA!*****The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass *, the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an All-Time Greatest Novel and Newsweek hailed as a Top 100 Book of All Time, continues the epic adventure, catapulting readers between worlds, and toward a devastating discovery.

And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.
