In a strange and mysterious abandoned city she meets Will (Amir Wilson), a boy from our world who is also running from a troubled past. Lyra and Will learn their destinies are tied to reuniting Will with his father but find their path is constantly thwarted as a war begins to brew around them.

Together they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.
