About this title

Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “UNPUTDOWNABLE.”—The Washington Post • An Entertainment Weekly All-Time Greatest Novel • A Newsweek Top 100 Book of All Time • The Inspiration for the HBO Original Series His Dark Materials

DON’T MISS THE EPIC FINALE TO LYRA’S STORY: THE ROSE FIELD, AVAILABLE NOW!

The spellbinding sequel to the modern fantasy classic The Golden Compass.

“The story gallops with ferocious momentum . . . Devilishly inventive.”—The New York Times Book Review

Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels.

Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together . . . until they are split apart.

Look for the modern fantasy classics of HIS DARK MATERIALS:
The Golden Compass • The Subtle Knife • The Amber Spyglass

And Lyra’s adventures continue in THE BOOK OF DUST:
La Belle Sauvage • The Secret Commonwealth • The Rose Field
