Lyra sets out with her friend Basil to save her sibling from the cult.
Throughout this journey, the pair get themselves involved in everything from the current war between rival nations Alexandria and China to the secret magic of the isolated nation of the Maya, tracking Blair all the while. Eventually, Lyra is able to track down where the Restoration of Nature’s Order is hiding and confronts them, but ends up being captured.
