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, their destinies are bound together…until they are split apart.

Will and Lyra are heartbroken, but they know that they have to do what is right. They say their goodbyes and promise to find each other again someday. Will returns to his own world, and Lyra goes to the world of the dead to help the shades find their way back to the living world.
