Lyra and Will both leave their own worlds and meet in the eerie city of Cittàgazze, where they must find a secret and terrible weapon on which the fate of many more worlds rests.
Klappentext:
Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted underworld-Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky. But she is not without allies: 12-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.
On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will discover an object of devastating power. And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat-and the shattering truth of their own destiny.
