The epic story Pullman tells is not only a spellbinding adventure featuring armoured polar bears, magical devices, witches and daemons, it is also an audacious and profound re-imagining of Milton's Paradise Lost. Will Parry is one of the protagonists in Philip Pullmans trilogy His Dark Materials, along with Lyra Belacqua.He first appears in the series at the start of the second novel, The Subtle Knife, and continues through to the final book, The Amber Spyglass. As Lyra learns the truth about her parents and her prophesied destiny, the two young people are caught up in a war against celestial powers that ranges across many worlds and leads to a thrilling conclusion in The Amber Spyglass. In The Subtle Knife she is joined on her journey by Will, a boy who possesses a knife that can cut windows between worlds. Lyra's search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children and turns into a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. Northern Lights introduces Lyra, an orphan, who lives in a parallel universe in which science, theology and magic are entwined.
