Publisher's Synopsis

 

"An astonishing imaginative feat - Pullman has conjured a universe of intensity and beauty that leaves one gasping" The Times

"Only Rankin can light and photograph faces with such intensity and drama. I'm delighted with this vision of my story." Philip Pullman

The third volume in the ground-breaking His Dark Materials trilogy, now with a breath-taking new cover creatively directed and photographed by the legendary Rankin.

"We're going to the land of the dead and we're going to come back." 

Will and Lyra, whose fates are bound together by powers beyond their own worlds, have been violently separated.

But they must find each other, for ahead of them lies the greatest war that has ever been - and a journey to a dark place from which no one has ever returned...

 

  • Rankin's lens has exquisitely captured the bond between character and daemon; the soul of the stories
  • The His Dark Materials trilogy is award-winning, internationally bestselling and a modern classic.
  • Now a major BBC/HBO television series, with an all-star cast of Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, Anne-Marie Duff and Lin-Manuel Miranda
