"The unforgettable His Dark Materials trilogy that began with The Golden Compass and continued with The Subtle Knife, reaches its astonishing conclusion in The Amber Spyglass. These modern fantasy classics have been hailed by Entertainment Weekly as an ""All-Time Greatest Novel"" and Newsweek as a ""Top 100 Book of All Time""

Throughout

the worlds, the forces of both heaven and hell are mustering to take

part in Lord Asriel's audacious rebellion. Each player in this epic

drama has a role to play—and a sacrifice to make. Witches, angels,

spies, assassins, tempters, and pretenders, no one will remain

unscathed.

Lyra and Will have the most dangerous task of all.

They must journey to a gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone

and from which there is no escape.

As war rages and Dust drains

from the sky, the fate of the living—and the dead—comes to depend on

Lyra and Will. On the choices they make in love, and for love,

forevermore.
