"Only Rankin can light and photograph
faces with such intensity and drama. I'm delighted with this
vision of my story." Philip Pullman

The first volume in the ground-breaking His Dark Materials
trilogy, now with a breath-taking new cover
creatively directed and photographed by the legendary Rankin.

Lyra Belacqua and her animal daemon live half-wild
and carefree among scholars of Jordan College, Oxford.

The
destiny that awaits her will take her to the frozen lands of
the Arctic, where witch-clans reign and ice-bears fight. Her extraordinary
journey will have immeasurable consequences far beyond
her own world...

Rankin's lens
has exquisitely captured the bond between character and daemon; the
soul of the stories

The His Dark Materials
trilogy is award-winning, internationally bestselling and
a modern classic.

Now a major BBC/HBO television
series, with an all-star cast of Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy,
Anne-Marie Duff and Lin-Manuel Miranda
