Miriam said in that high pitched voice I had come to associate her with. “No, mother superior, I wasn’t” Eve replied bowing slightly and backing away from me.

"What's your name?" "Miriam. Though most called me the Shadow Healer." She reached out with trembling hands, stopping just short of touching Lyra's face. "I thought you were dead. Everyone did. The night the Shadowlands fell, Elena smuggled you out. Gave you to a trusted friend. Then she went back to fight." "And died," Lyra said quietly. Miriam's expression flickered. "That's what they wanted everyone to believe." "What does that mean?" "It means I need to sit before I fall." Miriam moved to a chair, lowering herself carefully. "I'm not as young as I used to be. And what I have to tell you takes strength I'm not sure I have anymore."

I slowly walked closer to her.“Then why are you looking at me like that?” I asked calmly. Miriam stood up immediately. “Listen carefully,” she said angrily. “You will leave this house very soon.
