Publisher's Note
Here is the highly anticipated second installment of Philip Pullman's epic fantasy trilogy, begun with the critically acclaimed The Golden Compass. Lyra and Will, her newfound friend, tumble separately into the strange tropical otherworld of Cittàgazze, "the city of magpies," where adults are curiously absent and children run wild. Here their lives become inextricably entwined when Lyra's alethiometer gives her a simple command: find Will's father. Their search is plagued with obstacles--some familiar and some horribly new and unfathomable--but it eventually brings them closer to Will's father and to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, magical, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds. Through it all, Will and Lyra find themselves hurtling toward the center of a fierce battle against a force so awesome that leagues of mortals, witches, beasts, and spirits from every world are uniting in fear and anger against it. This breathtaking sequel will leave readers eager for the third and final volume of His Dark Materials.

The second book of Philip Pullman's epic fantasy trilogy brings Lyra and her daemon and a cast of characters both familiar and new into whole new worlds. Lyra and 12-year-old Will Parry, in a desperate flight for his life, are drawn closer to Will's father and closer to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, magical, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds. Through it all, the pair are drawn deeper and deeper into a fierce battle that they may not survive.

Industry Reviews
"This is literate, densely allusive writing which will repay frequent re-reading."
Literary Review - Michael Thorn (01/19/1998)

    This is the Second book in His Dark Materials Trilogy! I have found myself in love with this series Like (Oz, Harry Potter, and the Chronicles of Narnia) I can't get enough of Lyra's world. The book pics up right where the first one left off. Lyra has discovered that the world as she knows it isn't quite the same. She finds herself in a battle to save the very fabric of her world. This second novel leaves you in a fever pitch for the third. The books deserve all of the acclaim it has been getting, and is sure to go down in history as a classic!
