    Summary

    Lyra had chosen the book quickly, not because she didn’t care about that evening’s story, but because she loved to lie in Mother’s blankets and watch as Mother rubbed away her layers of paint and metal; as she revealed the woman who was only Lyra’s mother beneath. Then came the silk pajamas, the lavender pillow mist, the twin mugs of hot chocolatl. The story, read aloud in French, their secret language in the heart of London. The forgotten prayer, even though both Lyra’s schoolteachers and their priest said that praying before rest was a necessity. The lights turned out, Mother’s arms opened, Pantalaimon and Mother’s dæmon sitting sentinel at their feet. Mother’s arms were Lyra’s favourite place to sleep in all the world; as a young girl, she’d hoped that she’d always be allowed to snooze in that warm, safe embrace, the smell of Mother’s potions and perfumes perfusing her dreams forever.

    Such was the way of Lyra Coulter’s little life. (Marisa raises Lyra herself.)

    Summary

    “Do you have any idea what kind of resources they have at Talon?” Ashe says and barks out a derisive laugh. “You think I’d do something so stupid as to cross them just to fuck with my old man’s business?”
    “I don’t know,” Dr Ziegler says, and she looks at Ashe with bold defiance, a fire flaring behind her glasses, her fingertips gripping her mug so tightly they’ve turned white. “Would you?”
