"Så var der ordet Støv, med stort S, som om det ikke var almindeligt støv, men noget særligt..." Malcolm Polsteads liv på kroen ved floden er trygt og rart, selvom det til tider er lidt kedeligt. Men der er en hel særlig vinter på vej, hvor det vil regne som aldrig før, og kampen mellem videnskab, religion og politik er begyndt. Denne vinter mister Malcolm alt, hvad han kender. Og midt i uvejret får han ansvaret for spædbarnet Lyra, og sammen må de begive sig ud på en rejse, der vil ændre deres liv for altid.

Will har netop haft en frygtelig og sindsoprivende oplevelse; og derefter finder han ud af, at Lyra er forsvundet. Nu befinder han sig alene i et uvejsomt og stormfuldt bjergområde. To engle kommer til ham og fortæller ham, at han som bærer af Skyggernes kniv har en uhyre vigtig mission, og at han skal følge med dem nordpå til Lord Asriels fæstning, hvor et slag af kosmiske dimensioner er under opsejling. Men Will nægter at adlyde dem, for han har kun én tanke i hovedet: Han må finde Lyra. Og det viser sig at være en større udfordring, end han havde forestillet sig.

Nu som lydbog. Samme udgave som tidligere udgivelse på kassettebånd. Will er tolv år, og han har lige slået en mand ihjel. Nu er han på flugt og fast besluttet på at finde ud af, hvad der er sket med hans far, som forsvandt under en ekspedition for tolv år siden. Ved et tilfælde kommer Will igennem en skjult åbning og ind i en anden verden. Her møder han Lyra, en mærkelig, vild pige, som også har en opgave, som hun vil løse, koste hvad det vil. Men Cittàgazze er et uhyggeligt sted. De øde gader hjemsøges af genfærd, som spiser sjæle, og fra luften højt oppe høres vingeslag fra engle. I et tårn i byen opbevares en genstand, som mennesker fra mange verdener vil dræbe for at erhverve.
