Tarnedrift Steps
Mira
“A small girl about 3 feet tall with wind-tossed dark hair, a blue patchwork coat, and a satchel bouncing at her hip.”
Mira is a quick-stepping child who can hop from landing to landing with her feet barely making a sound. She stands about as tall as a kitchen chair, and she notices everything that drifts, shifts, or gets left behind.

The Platform Starts to Drift
On the Tarnedrift Steps, a lower sky-platform begins to slide loose from its stone anchors after a night of heavy cloud-wash. It will not fall far, but if it drifts away it will take the stair-bridge, water barrels, and the only safe path between two homes with it.
Mira and the Ringing Threads
On the Tarnedrift Steps, Mira hears Sella’s balcony bells ring by themselves and spots gray threads drifting toward a half-finished terrace. At the same moment, Tobin calls out for his missing cart rope, and Mira must decide which strange thread to follow first.
