• The Blackwood Compass
    The Blackwood CompassThe Blackwood Manor did not sit upon the Yorkshire moors; it seemed to be sinking into them.Surrounded by the oppressive mist that clung to the peat bogs like a second skin, the manor was a skeletal ruin of grey stone and rotting timber, where the air tasted of damp earth and centuries of unpaid debts. Eleanor Ashworth had returned not out of love for this place—she had...

  • The Broken Compass
    Act I: The Spark The thing about rust is that it doesn't happen all at once. It happens slowly, grain by grain, year by year, until one day you pick up something that used to be strong and it crumbles in your hands. Cleveland was rusting. Not just the factories and the bridges and the rail yards, but the people too. They rusted from the inside out, slowly, until you couldn't tell where the...

  • The Broken Compass
    Frank Miller had been unemployed for ten years. Ten years since the plant closed. Ten years since he had a paycheck that meant something. Ten years since he had a reason to get up in the morning that wasn't just the habit of getting up. He lived in a one-bedroom apartment on West Grand Boulevard. The walls had cracks in them, and in the winter the cold came through those cracks like a whisper....

  • The Golden Compass
    The Golden Compass Arthur Pendelton stood in the rain outside St. Bartholomew's Hospital for fourteen minutes before he realised he had stopped counting. The rain in London did not fall so much as it lingered — a persistent, grey presence that seeped through wool and bone alike. He pulled his collar higher and walked the remaining three blocks to the lodging house on Dean Street, where the...

  • The Golden Compass
    The compass didn't point north. It never had. Arthur knew this the moment he found it, pressed into the lining of his grandfather's leather greatcoat -- a brass disc no larger than a sovereign, its face scratched and clouded with oxidation, the needle frozen at an angle that made no astronomical sense. He had been clearing out his flat in Kensington for three days already, the kind of work...
