The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth (Book of Dust, Volume 2) by Philip Pullman
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * DON'T MISS THE EPIC FINALE TO THE BOOK OF DUST: THE ROSE FIELD, AVAILABLE NOW!Return to the world of His Dark Materials and discover what comes next for Lyra, "one of fantasy's most indelible heroines" (The New York Times Magazine).
"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
Lyra Silvertongue thought that the adventures of her youth were long behind her, but when her daemon, Pantalaimon, witnesses a brutal murder, they are suddenly caught up in crimes that carry unsettling echoes from their past.
But Lyra at twenty is very different from Lyra at thirteen. The lies she used to spin with ease no longer come, she and Pan are at odds, and her ability to trust--most of all in herself--has been shattered. On the run, Lyra finds a surprising new ally in Malcolm Polstead. 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 mystery of Dust.
To find the truth, Lyra will have to reconnect with the girl she once was and face dangers that will challenge everything she knows about her world.
Look for the entire trilogy of THE BOOK OF DUST:
La Belle Sauvage * The Secret Commonwealth * The Rose Field
And Lyra's adventures begin in HIS DARK MATERIALS:
The Golden Compass * The Subtle Knife * The Amber Spyglass
