Bookroo's summary

In a world where soul-eating Specters roam and witches fly with angels, Lyra, an ordinary girl, meets Will, a boy on the run. Both seek answers—Lyra to Dark Matter, Will to his missing father. Instead, they uncover a knife of immense power, entwining their fates in a perilous secret. As their destinies intertwine, they must confront forces that threaten to tear them apart. Can they survive the trials that await, or will the knife's power consume them both?

From the publisher

This graphic novel adaptation of The Subtle Knife is a great entry for readers new to His Dark Materials and an exciting new look at the classic for existing Pullman fans. Philip Pullman’s world is brought to visual life in The Subtle Knife Graphic Novel, a companion to the successful The Golden Compass Graphic Novel. The stunning full-color art will offer both new and returning readers a chance to experience the story of Lyra, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary role to play in the fates of multiple worlds, in an entirely new way. In The Subtle Knife, Lyra meets Will–a boy on the run, a murderer–a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching–Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father–but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together…until they are split apart.
