#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Return to the world of His Dark Materials with this trade paperback boxed set featuring all three volumes of The Book of Dust, which continues and expands the story of Lyra, “one of fantasy’s most indelible heroines” (The New York Times Magazine):
La Belle Sauvage introduces readers to Malcolm Polstead, who will brave a flood and make a shocking sacrifice to keep the baby Lyra safe. This odyssey-like adventure reveals how Lyra came to live at Jordan College and how she received her alethiometer.
“People will love the first volume of Philip Pullman’s new trilogy with the same helpless vehemence that stole over them when The Golden Compass came out.”—Slate
The Secret Commonwealth jumps forward in time to the moment Lyra and Malcolm meet again as adults. After Lyra’s daemon, Pan, witnesses a murder, they must travel across Europe and into the Levant, searching for a city haunted by daemons and a desert said to hold the secret of Dust.
“A big novel full of big ideas, big characters, and big sorrows . . . This book feels like a response to the darkness in our time.”—NPR
The Rose Field is the dramatic conclusion to Lyra’s story. Malcolm and Lyra continue their arduous journey toward the desert of Karamakan. Their enemies and allies are also racing toward this desert, eager to either discover or destroy the truths to be found there.
“Pullman’s abilities as a storyteller are stupendous, and on full display.”—The Atlantic
Lyra’s adventures begin in HIS DARK MATERIALS: The Golden Compass • The Subtle Knife • The Amber Spyglass
