Set around twelve years before the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, the story follows 11-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon Asta, and a village girl named Alice and her dæmon Ben, who become the protectors of the infant Lyra Belacqua and her dæmon, Pantalaimon, in their title: Philip Pullman text: and a position first held by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
