    Summary

    “Martyn.” Ren’s hair, nearly more grey than brown now, was falling into his face. They’d been out of the arena for a long time.

    “What’s up?” Martyn loved him, loved the way he said his name with his ar halfway to ah, loved the lines of his face and the color of his age, loved the perk of his ears and the rapid whipping of his tail.

    Ren’s gaze was like sunlight. “I want to worship you.”

    “Oh,” Martyn whispered.

    Summary

    Martyn sighed. “It was just—everything was different, without you. I hate it. Makes me get sloppy. Jumpy. Not a good look. And trying to keep up the usual veneer of confidence so no one could tell I was going to pieces.”

    Ren said, “I could tell.”

    “Well, that’s you. It doesn’t count,” Martyn said. “Anyway, it was awful. I was scared and lonely and cold all the time.”

    Summary

    Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).

    But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.
