Book Overview

When readers left Lyra in The Secret Commonwealth, she was alone in the ruins of a deserted city. Pantalaimon had run from her—part of himself—in search of her imagination, which he believed she had lost. Lyra traveled across the world from her Oxford home in search of her dæmon. And Malcolm, loyal Malcolm, journeyed far from home towards the Silk Roads in search of Lyra.

In The Rose Field, their quests converge in the most dangerous, breathtaking, and world-changing ways. They must enlist help from spies and thieves, gryphons and witches, old friends and new, all while uncovering the depth and surprising truths of the alethiometer. Around them, the world burns—made terrifying by fear, power, and greed.

As they move east towards the red building that will reunite them and provide answers—about Dust, the special roses, and imagination—the Magisterium pursues them, waging war against all that Lyra holds dear.

Marking thirty years since readers first met Pullman’s remarkable heroine Lyra Belacqua in Northern Lights, The Rose Field is the culmination of the cultural phenomenon of The Book of Dust and His Dark Materials.
