‘Without this child, we shall all die.’ 
 
Lyra Belacqua lives half-wild and carefree among the scholars of Jordan College, with her daemon familiar always by her side. But the arrival of her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle – a struggle born of Gobblers and stolen children, witch clans and armoured bears. 
 
As she hurtles towards danger in the cold far North, Lyra never suspects the shocking truth: she alone is destined to win, or to lose, the biggest battle imaginable. 
 
The first book in a stunning three-volume graphic novel adaptation of Northern Lights.

Thomas Gilbert

Enter the remarkable world of His Dark Materials like never before with this stunning, full-colour graphic novel. 
 
Lyra has stepped into a brand-new world. Will has just killed a man. 
 
Their paths cross in Cittàgazze. In a city haunted by soul-eating Spectres, troops of angels and vengeful witches, they find in each other a welcome ally. 
 
Both are hoping to find something in this strange world: Lyra must discover the meaning of Dark Matter, while Will is desperately searching for his missing father.
