It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the 
hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's 
greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard 
hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust- found only in the vast Artic expanse of the North -was 
rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole 
universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible 
struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and 
formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable 
danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to 
win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle...
