 #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 Action et aventures Amitié Famille et relations Fantastique Fantastique épique Fiction Littérature Science-fiction et fantasy Situations difficiles Survie Crime

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The Secret Commonwealth is a majestic return to Lyra’s next chapter with all the magic, folklore, and fantasy only Philip Pullman can provide.” –Hypable

“A big novel full of big ideas, big characters and big sorrows. . . This book feels like a response to the darkness of our time.”—NPR

“Pullman’s best novel so far. A work of extraordinary depth and humanity.” —The Observer

“As always, Pullman’s writing is simple, unpretentious, beautiful, true. . . . the conclusion to the Book of Dust can’t come soon enough.” —The Washington Post

“The novel gallops forward, full of danger, delight and surprise. Pullman is a staggeringly gifted storyteller.” —New Statesman

“Engrossing.”—Financial Times

“Exhilarating.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Enthralling.”—Readings

“Mr. Pullman’s writing is clear, clean and forceful, never striving for effect and all the more effective because of it. He’s also a man of ideas, which gives great savor to his work.” – The Wall Street Journal

“Coming back to [Lyra] after all these years is such a profound pleasure that I can do nothing but sit back and watch her charge forward into the night, ready as she always was to remake the world in her own image.”—Vox

“Profound and provocative.” —Bulletin

“The Secret Commonwealth reasserts Pullman’s affection for the wondrous and those pieces of reality which can be seen only by those willing to see.”—Newsweek

“These books, and the intellectual debate they produce, make Lyra’s world feel more lived-in than ever before.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Not only is it worthy second installment in The Book of Dust trilogy, it continues to prove this sequence will be every bit as excellent as His Dark Materials.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer

I loved the character voice performances by this reader. I was on the edge of my seat!

The narrator makes this book!

Honestly the best audio book I’ve listened to in a long time. He’s a master. I am devastated to have to wait for the third book now.

I wish Michael Sheen could narrate every book!

Lyra is back, and so is Phillip Pullman. Although I enjoyed the Book of Dust, it just didn't have the same visceral quality of the first Dark Materials trilogy. So was I monumentally thrilled when I started listening to the Secret Commonwealth. Although the Book of Dust was a prequel to the Golden Compass, this book is a sequel to the Amber Spyglass, and the treachery of the Magisterium is back in full force. And this time, Lyra has in some way, lost herself. As we follow her angst, we wonder where that spunky, sharp little girl has gone to, now that she has grown up. The setting is spread across a dozen countries in Europe and the near East, with delicious characters and places, intense with smells, particularly that of 'rose oil'. Wait, no more spoilers. You HAVE to read this if you loved the Dark Materials.

Lyra is back!

Excellent listen. Narrator is a very good actor. With respect to the story - I wish the second book didn't finish the way it did. This book does not have a feeling of a conclusion like the first book did. Instead, this one requires that you read the third. And since the third is not available yet, I am sitting with a feeling of disappointment rather than excitement. I don't like to read/listen to get half of a story. I want a real conclusion, not a cliffhanger like this. I'm sure the third book will be great. But in an on-demand era, I almost get so mad at this kind of ending to blacklist.... almost.

Spoiler Alert (sort of)

The narrator's performance was excellent, as was the story. Lots of interesting characters and he gave a unique voice to each one.

Can't wait for the next installment!

I am so happy to be able to be back in Lyra’s world, a lot more real and colorful, and as adventurous and full of surprise as the first trilogy. Just like how they have shaped my thoughts and behavior in my young years, this book has made me feel stronger and lot more determined. Thank you Phillip Pullman for this great gift. Narration has done so professionally and artful. I loved listening to every bit of it.

Great work enhanced with great performance

I saw the first series on display in the kid's section of the local bookstore and thought "Not this sequel and not the prequel, it's all grown up." and that's not a criticism but it does make this out to be a different expedience and a fascinating evolution. This one as the last is excellent but the narration disjointed in places as we follow the characters apart, it can be a bit jarring as in some cases we leap from a cryptic encounter to a domestic calm to suddenly we're far away and things have gotten strange and grim. It's a gothic steampunk engine pulling a train and it ends at the station with all the passengers where we knew they'd be. The next book has a lot of gaps to fill and I look forward to seeing how and even if it all comes together.

Darkest materials yet

I love how this series has stuck with Lyra and transitioned from a series of young adult fiction to adult fiction . Much like the original readers of this series have matured. There are some traumatic and perhaps even dystopian events that lend to the original storyline while also letting you know that things are not as we remember them in His Dark Materials.

Great continuation of a classic story

The story was very engaging and Michael sheen did an amazing job narrating. I was so impressed, recommend!

Interesting story

My favourite part of the first book in this series was Michael Sheen's performance and he again does a phenomenal job here.
I know that this book and this series (The Book of Dust) has received some bad reviews, especially when compared to the first trilogy (His Dark Materials). I loved His Dark Materials and I have to say that I still quite like The Book of Dust. Yes, this is much darker and more grown-up, but I've tried to accept it for what it is, not what I think it should be. There is discomfort in this book, yet it is still intriguing, interesting, thought-provoking and entertaining.
I eagerly await the next volume - especially if Michael Sheen does the reading again.

Michael Sheen's performance is excellent.
