The next step in a very long journey down the river has arrived!
Coram van Texel pays a visit to learn about the alethiometer and current events then gets paid another visit out on the street, ending in a scuffle. Malcolm also learns about the alethiometer while making the acquaintance of scholar Hannah Relf - but most importantly, Jesper.

Setting sail (again) with a new POV, this time it's the Onion Knight: Davos Seaworth. From the start, Davos's chapters set the tone for a story of sacrifice, faith, and the burning of old systems.
