Early Opening Philip Pullman

Early Opening for The Rose Field by Philip Pullman

We cordially invite you to join us on the 23rd of October as we open early for the hotly anticipated conclusion to the Book of Dust sequence, The Rose Field. Along with your independent exclusive edition*, we will have x24 enamel pin badges for the first in the queue, and tons of other goodies! If you've never read Lyra's story before, we'll make sure to look after you with all six books available.

If that's not enticing enough, to help those more bleary-eyed, we will also be serving warm croissants alongside our complimentary tea or coffee whilst you queue.

There’s no need to reserve a place, just make sure to come along.

This is the perfect opportunity to begin reading before the start of the working day. We can't wait to celebrate the culmination of Lyra's story with you!

When readers left Lyra in The Secret Commonwealth she was alone, in the ruins of a deserted city. Pantalaimon had run from her - part of himself - in search of her imagination, which he believed she had lost. Lyra travelled across the world from her Oxford home in search of her daemon. And Malcolm, loyal Malcolm, too journeyed far from home, towards the Silk Roads in search of Lyra . . .

In The Rose Field, their quests converge in the most dangerous, breathtaking and world-changing ways. They must take help from spies and thieves, gryphons and witches, old friends and new, learning all the while the depth and surprising truths of the alethiometer. All around them, the world is aflame - made terrifying by fear, power and greed.

As they move East, towards the red building that will reunite them and give them answers - on Dust, on the special roses, on imagination - so too does the Magisterium, at war against all that Lyra holds dear.

* indie exclusive edition includes: gold sprayed edges, inscription under the dust jacket, and an end-paper exclusive
