Hi. I'm Lyra Cantrell. I was a regular girl. Just a normal person walking down the road that is life. But, I've always been obsessed with the stars. Like, even out of habit I look up pictures of stars on the internet. Not celebrity stars. The Stars Stars, the stars in the stars in the sky above you. If you walk into my room, its like walking into a space station looking out on the universe. The only thing almost normal in my room is my dream catcher. I always seemed, unique, because all the girls in my year, are obsessed with the celebrity stars. When I was obsessed with the colour black, silver and purple, and those were the only colours in my wardrobe even, when all the girls in my year were obsessed with Pastel colours. I was an 16 year old. When something strange started happening. These new kids moved to the school, they were pale and silver. I've learned not to judge people by what they look like. So I've been watching them, and they keep following me. But theres something about them, the angry look they give me like I killed their cat or something. One day, I hung back, you know, to pester the teacher about the homework - which, by the way, should be banned - but it didn't really go as planned...

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.
