Eleven-year-old Malcolm and his dæmon, Asta, live at the Trout Inn near Oxford. Across the River Thames, which Malcolm navigates using his beloved canoe, La Belle Sauvage, is Godstow Priory where the nuns live. Malcolm learns they have a baby with them by the name of Lyra Belacqua. Malcolm and Lyra are caught up in a terrifying adventure that takes them into a new world. Volume 1 of 'The Book of Dust' series.

Lyra is now twenty years old, and Malcolm is a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right. They must travel far beyond the edges of Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, in search for what is lost - a city haunted by dæmons, a secret at the heart of a desert, and the mystery of the elusive Dust. Volume 2 of 'The Book of Dust' series.
