At the gypsies’ meeting called the ‘Roping’, Lyra meets John Faa, the king of the gypsies and his friend, Farder Coram. There, they tell Lyra the true story of her parents. As it turns out, her Uncle Asriel, and the horrendous Mrs. Coulter are her parents. As the gypsies and Lyra set off to rescue the kidnapped children, Lyra slowly learns how to correctly read the truth from the alethiometer. With the alethiometer, Lyra predicts the death of a gyptian spy and the furious state in which Mrs. Coulter is in.
Although Lyra can figure out Mrs. Coulter’s plans easily, she doubts her ability to see the truth, and falls into a sticky situation. Two spirits sent by Mrs. Coulter spies on Lyra and, although one gets captured by Farder Coram, the other gets away and flies off to report to Mrs. Coulter.
And so begins Lyra’s journey to the North, with danger and trouble lying ahead.
