Two years after the events of His Dark Materials, Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon are perched high on the roof of Jordan College, looking out over the streets of Oxford below. Their peace is broken by a flock of enraged starlings apparently trying to force another bird out of the sky — a bird that Lyra and Pan quickly recognise as a witch’s daemon. He arrives with troubling news: a terrible sickness is spreading in the north, and only Lyra can help. But is he truly a friend, or something else entirely? Now illustrated throughout by Chris Wormell for the first time, this gorgeous full-colour gift edition is a perfect choice for Pullman readers old and new.
