\n\u00a0<\/b>
\n<\/b>Malcolm Polstead and his daemon, Asta, are used to overhearing news and the occasional scandal at the inn run by his family. But during a winter of unceasing rain, Malcolm finds a mysterious object\u2014and finds himself in grave danger.<\/p>\n
Inside the object is a cryptic message about something called Dust; and it\u2019s not long before Malcolm is approached by the spy for whom this message was actually intended.<\/i>\u00a0When she asks Malcolm to keep his eyes open, he begins to notice suspicious characters everywhere: the explorer Lord Asriel, clearly on the run; enforcement agents from the Magisterium; a gyptian named Coram with warnings just for Malcolm; and a beautiful woman with an evil monkey for a daemon. All are asking about the same thing: a girl\u2014just a baby\u2014named Lyra.<\/p>\n
Lyra is at the center of a storm, and Malcolm will brave any peril, and make shocking sacrifices, to bring her safely through it.<\/p>\n
