Two years after His Dark Materials, Lyra and her daemon are on the roof of an Oxford university when they spot a flock of birds attack a witch's daemon. Saving the daemon from the onslaught they promise to help it find a man in Jericho, but why is it here and what does it want and can it be trusted?

A nice little tale set in the Materials universe, all too short but wonderfully familiar. I guess it'll just have to do until the Book of Dust comes out. OH WAIT.
