In the vast Arctic, Lyra Belacqua trudged through knee-deep snow, her daemon Pan in weasel shape, nestled securely around her neck. Blustering gusts of wind cut through her layers of furs, turning Pan frosty white. Though the journey was grueling, it was essential; they had to reach the Northern Lights.

In the far reaches of the Arctic, a discovery was made by a team of NASA scientists that utterly shattered our understanding of the cosmos. An unknown metallic object was found deeply buried within the ice, radiating an eerie, otherworldly glow. The nature of this object was indeed heavily reminiscent of the objects uncovered in Dan Brown's 'Deception Point'.
