The highly anticipated conclusion of Philip Pullman's best-selling series, The Book of Dust...

'Lyra: what will you do when you find that place in the desert, the entrance to the world of roses?'

'I will defend it,' said Lyra. 'I will die defending it.'

When readers left Lyra in The Secret Commonwealth, she was alone, amidst the ruins of a deserted city. Pantalaimon had left her – a part of himself – seeking her imagination, which he believed he had lost. Lyra traveled all around the world from her home in Oxford searching for her dæmon. And Malcolm, the faithful Malcolm, also traveled far from home, towards the Silk Roads in search of Lyra…

In The Rose Field, their journeys converge in the most dangerous, rebellious, and world-changing ways. They must seek help from spies and thieves, griffins and witches, old friends and new, while learning the extent and rebellious truths of the alethiometer. All around them, the world is burning – terrifying with fear, power, and greed.

As they move eastward, towards the red building that will reunite them and give answers – about Dust, the special roses, and imagination – so too does the Magisterium, at war against everything Lyra loves.

Celebrating thirty years since the first appearance of the remarkable heroine Lyra Belacqua in the world of Northern Lights, The Rose Field is the culmination of the cultural phenomenon of The Book of Dust and His Dark Materials.
