The #1 New York Times Bestseller!
Return to the world of His Dark Materials--now an HBO original series
starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, and Lin-Manuel
Miranda--in the second volume of Philip Pullman's new bestselling
masterwork The Book of Dust.
The windows between the many worlds have been sealed and the momentous
adventures of Lyra Silvertongue's youth are long behind her--or so she
thought. Lyra is now a twenty-year-old undergraduate at St. Sophia's
College and intrigue is swirling around her once more. Her daemon
Pantalaimon is witness to a brutal murder, and the dying man entrusts
them with secrets that carry echoes from their past.
The more Lyra is drawn into these mysteries, the less she is sure of.
Even the events of her own past come into question when she learns of
Malcolm Polstead's role in bringing her to Jordan College.
Now Lyra and Malcolm will travel far beyond the confines of Oxford,
across Europe and into the Levant, searching for a city haunted by
daemons, and a desert said to hold the truth of Dust. The dangers they
face will challenge everything they thought they knew about the world,
and about themselves.

Post
