Summary

Seventeen-year-old Lyra Ashwood, a Vermont girl who has spent her whole life compulsively drawing silver trees she can't explain, feels pulled toward a wood she can't name, and missing a mother who disappeared when she was four. When a mark blazes up her wrist one September evening, she discovers the truth: her family made a blood bargain with the Winter Court two hundred years ago, and she has been called to fulfill it. She is taken through the Veil into Aethermoor, a world of obsidian palaces and silver birch forests and too-close stars, where she must complete three magical Trials or serve the Court for a century. Her reluctant guide is Caelan — the Winter Court's cold, careful heir, who argues against helping her and then helps her anyway, and who has been keeping a sketch of her mother in his study for fifteen years. The Trials are not what they appear to be. The blood bargain is not what it appears to be. And Lyra's mother — long believed dead — is alive in the palace's foundations, holding the ancient magic that keeps the boundary between worlds stable, because she found the truth too late to act on it any other way.
