"So Lyra and her daemon turned away from the world they were born in,
and looked toward the sun, and walked into the sky."
Considering the fact HBO launched a hugely successful season one of the series last fall season, to say Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials are an unknown would be a monstrous lie. The story that's basically a recreation of Adam and Eve's fall from the Garden of Eden is as old as time, but with the addition of mirror worlds overlapping with ours and daemons who help their humans out, this is a different perspective indeed. Lyra might be the new Eve, but she is also just Lyra - someone you REALLY want to meet as she goes on her adventure to discover who she really is, who her parents aren't, and what it means to fall in love, save the world, and be back home in time for a street fight!
Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world. Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power. And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat – and the shattering truth of their own destiny. The two great powers of the many worlds are lining up for war, an inevitable journey that will even take them to the world of the dead ...
