Will is twelve years old and he's just killed a man. On the run, he steps through a window into another world, and finds a companion - a strange, savage little girl called Lyra. Both children have a mission, and they decide to help each other. But the world of Cittagazze is a strange and unsettling place, where deadly soul-eating spectres roam. And in the mysterious Torre degli Angeli lurks Cittagazze's most important secret - an object which people from many worlds would kill to possess . . .
