Lyra Bien se snaží skrýt před králem posedlým magií v pevnosti Stonegate, dokud do její vesnice nevpadne Roark Ashwood, princův tichý strážce a údajný královský vrah, a neodhalí pravdu o stříbrných jizvách v jejích očích. Aby zachránila svého přítele, je nucena odhalit své schopnosti a koruna ji okamžitě prohlásí za slévače — bytost uctívanou i obávanou, ale odsouzenou k pomalé smrti — což ji žene hledat způsob, jak osvobodit sebe a své přátele z otroctví. Sbližování s Roarkem se promění v rostoucí vášeň a jejich spojenectví odkrývá zlověstná tajemství ve vikingsky inspirovaném světě plném nebezpečné magie, které je postaví před volbu mezi bojem a přijetím temného osudu. Recenzentka knihu vychvaluje: sice zmiňuje občasná klišé a chvílemi matoucí orientaci v postavách, ale chválí napínavý příběh, šokující a nepředvídatelný závěr a fakt, že romance je spíše třešnička na dortu; doufá, že se brzy dočká pokračování.
