The Book Of Dust: La Belle Sauvage (Book Of Dust, Volume 1)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Philip Pullman returns to the parallel world of His Dark Materials--now an HBO original series starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, and Lin-Manuel Miranda--to expand on the story of Lyra, ôone of fantasyÆs most indelible heroinesö (The New York Times Magazine). DonÆt miss Volume II of The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth! Malcolm Polstead and his daemon, Asta, are used to overhearing news and the occasional scandal at the inn run by his family. But during a winter of unceasing rain, Malcolm finds a mysterious objectùand finds himself in grave danger. Inside the object is a cryptic message about something called Dust; and itÆs not long before Malcolm is approached by the spy for whom this message was actually intended. When she asks Malcolm to keep his eyes open, he begins to notice suspicious characters everywhere: the explorer Lord Asriel, clearly on the run; enforcement agents from the Magisterium; a gyptian named Coram with warnings just for Malcolm; and a beautiful woman with an evil monkey for a daemon. All are asking about the same thing: a girlùjust a babyùnamed Lyra. Lyra is at the center of a storm, and Malcolm will brave any peril, and make shocking sacrifices, to bring her safely through it. ôToo few things in our world are worth a seventeen-year wait: The Book of Dust is one of them.ö ùThe Washington Post ôThe book is full of wonder. . . . Truly thrilling.ö ùThe New York Times ôPeople will love the first volume of Philip PullmanÆs new trilogy with the same helpless vehemence that stole over them when The Golden Compass came out.ö ùSlate
