Lyra Myre has spent her life beneath the shadow of her father and the endless labour of their farm. Every day is much the same, until a company of royal soldiers camp near their home and a slaughtering bleeds upon their land. Among the dead, Lyra discovers a strange boy named Dor. With dangerous men hunting them and Dor growing weaker by the day, Lyra and her father are forced to abandon everything they know and journey toward the holy city of Etethiel, where the greatest servants of the Twin Lights may be their only hope. Yet the closer they come to salvation, the harder it becomes to distinguish holiness from cruelty, monsters from frightened children, and faith from the stories people tell themselves to survive.
