The story
The series is based on Philip Pullman's trilogy of the same name, and opens in an alternative world where all humans' souls manifest as animal companions called daemons.
It follows the life of a young girl named Lyra, an orphan living with the scholars at Jordan College, Oxford, in a world governed by the Magisterium, a religious and political body.
Lyra discovers a dangerous secret that involves Lord Asriel and Marisa Coulter, and is the subject of a witches' prophecy that she will change the world.
