His Dark Materials

The Book of Dust Volume Three is the third and final book in The Book of Dust trilogy. As of yet, the title of the book is unknown, but Sir Philip Pullman has revealed it will have something to do with roses - possibly with the name being The Garden of Roses or Roses from the South.[1]

The book will continue on from The Secret Commonwealth, taking place after the events of The Amber Spyglass.[2] In a conversation with Michael Rosen, Philip Pullman released an exclusive excerpt of The Book of Dust Volume Three which shows Lyra and Nur Huda travelling in Al-Khan al-Azraq, having left their dæmons.[3]

In July 2022, Pullman stated that he had written 235 pages of Volume Three.[4] As of August 2022, Pullman was yet to finish writing the book, stating that he was "working at it day and night"[5], "as steadily as [his] health, [his] age and the story itself will allow".[6] He stated that it was likely to be finished around September 2023.[7] However, in mid-2023 he said it was likely to come out in 2024.[8]

In November 2023, the Associated Press reported that Pullman had written 500 of the 540 pages of Volume Three.[9]
