You inherit a house with a librarian nobody else remembers, and following him down a corridor turns his coat into wings. Mr. Raven leads you through a mirror onto a heath under unfamiliar stars, where a cottage keeps sleeping travelers he says you must join before you can truly wake. You run instead, sheltering with feral, starving children called the Little Ones, and by the chapter's end, a woman watching from a distant tower is named, for the first time, Lilith.
