Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels.
Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, and their destinies are bound together... until they are split apart.
Un bel seguito, anche se spero che il seguito sia avventuroso come questo.
Spero che non finisca con il vincitore prende tutto.
The second in the His Dark Materials series, after The Golden Compass. The story gets markedly weirder as it starts moving between worlds. It ends with a cliffhanger, so I'm glad that I had the next book handy.
