Philip Pullmanā€™s The Book of Dust series (2017ā€“25) continues the story of Lyra Belacqua from His Dark Materials (1995ā€“2000), chronicling her life before and after the original series. Pullman described it as an ā€œequelā€ series rather than a prequel or sequel. The fantasy trilogy includes La Belle Sauvage (2017), The Secret Commonwealth (2019), and The Rose Field (2025).
