This second volume continues the story of Lyra and her dæmon Pantalaimon only this time the action moves between three Universes. A new character is introduced, Will, who is searching for his explorer father. His quest interweaves with that of Lyra's and the book, like the first, ends on a knife edge making it imperative to go onto Volume III. Watch this space!
