Knowing that this is what Lyra so desperately needs. To feel useful, to feel again. Read on as Lyra, Sansa, and Freya help Frodo Baggins destroy the One Ring. All the while the three of them are finding something so much more on this adventure. Lyra, Sansa and Freya all find love after loss. All in different ways, but much the same.
