Lyra and Will are in unspeakable danger. With help from the armoured bear Iorek Byrnison and two tiny Gallivespian spies, they must journey to a gray-lit world where no living soul has ever dared to venture before. Meanwhile, Dr. Mary Malone is building a magnificent amber spyglass when an assassin hunts her down. And Lord Asriel, with troops of shining angels, fights his mighty rebellion, a battle of strange allies - and shocking sacrifices.

As war rages and Dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living - and the dead - finally comes to depend on two children and the truth behind one simple story.
