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.
