Strhující fantasy ze světa, kde lidské a zvířecí duše zůstávají spojeny. Ve zvláštním světě podobném tomu našemu žije dvanáctiletá Lyra. Tak jako každý člověk má i ona svého daemona, který je jakýmsi vnějším zpodobněním její duše, zvířecím společníkem, který je s ní neoddělitelně spjatý. Daemoni dětí mohou svou podobu měnit, když však začnou dospívat, podoba daemonů se ustálí a na dospělých se začne usazovat Prach. Jednoho dne se ztratí Lyřin kamarád Roger a Lyra se rozhodně vydat na daleký sever, kam vedou poslední stopy.

Første bind i Philip Pullmans spektakulære fantasy-trilogi om 'Det gyldne kompas' - en klassiker inden for fantasylitteraturen, oversat til 39 sprog, som har tryllebundet millioner af børn og voksne over hele verden. Den nysgerrige og handlekraftige Lyra vokser op på Jordan-kollegiet i Oxford. Ved et tilfælde hvirvles hun ind i et storslået og indviklet drama fuldt af mysterier: Hvad er det, hendes onkel, Lord Asriel, har fundet på sin arktiske ekspedition? Hvad har den mystiske fru Coulter med Lord Asriels opdagelse at gøre? Og hvorfor forsvinder der igen børn fra Oxford?

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.

Pourquoi la jeune Lyra, élevée dans l'atmosphère confinée du prestigieux Jordan College, est-elle l'objet de tant d'attentions ? De quelle mystérieuse mission est-elle investie ? Lorsque son meilleur ami disparaît, victime des ravisseurs d'enfants qui opèrent dans le pays, elle se lance sur ses traces. Un périlleux voyage vers le Grand Nord, qui lui révélera ses extraordinaires pouvoirs et la conduira à la frontière d'un autre monde.
