PHILO:
It is, isn't it?

How are you liking it? The book?

I finished it.

And?

It's extraordinary.

At first,
it seemed to be a droll

little colonialist fantasy.

A valiant human explorer
romances some native princess...

But then he leaves
and it's 20 years later.

And you find out that
the narrator is actually...

The daughter telling the story.

And she spends the whole second
half looking for her father.

Hmm. Brilliant, right?

And the ending.

Gods.

I was sobbing.

I'm so pleased you liked it.

I loved it. I really did.

Keep it.

No, I can't.
It's your favorite book.

I can't thank you enough.

You only think

How many books
are in this place?

(echoing):
I couldn't tell you.

Don't know
that anyone's ever counted.

Holy texts, maps.

Scientific research.

Histories going all the way back
to the Queen of Crows.

There's one
I wanted to show you.

I saw you looking at it before.

Oh, yeah.

What was that?

It's a 700-year-old
illuminated manuscript.

It tells the tale
of the first human in Tirnanoc.

Ah.

Here it is.

He was an explorer called Isen

who'd washed ashore
after a storm,

and was taken to Queen Aradis,

who became utterly fascinated
by him.

He stayed as a guest of her
court for quite a while, and...

Well, they fell
desperately in love.

-PHILO: So I see.
-This is nothing.

Some of these books have pages
that would make

a faerish sailor blush.

PHILO:
What's this? He just left her?

Yes.

Sadly, Isen yearned for home,

so he built a ship and left.

No one knows if he returned,

but he did leave something
of himself behind.

They had a child.

A son.

A half-blood.

He was a mysterious figure.

Spent his life
searching for his father.

It all sounds...
rather like my book.

I thought so, too.

It could be a coincidence,

but maybe
Isen did find his way home

and brought the story with him.

Or maybe the writer of my book

heard the tale as a child
from his faerish nanny.

Exactly.

I like to think
there's a connection, at least.

Why?

I like the idea that a story
like this might cross the world

and somehow find its way back
centuries later,

changed by constant retellings,

but familiar.

As if to tell us something.

That maybe...

we're not so different
in the end.

So, Sergeant...

I saw you talking to that chap.

What do you think of the fae?

They're an interesting people.

Are they?

In what sense?

Well, they've been around

so much longer
than we have, for a start.

And yet, their industry lags
far behind ours.

Why do you think that is?

I really couldn't say, sir.

Perhaps they've pursued
different ends to ours.

Indeed they have.

Idolatry, intemperance,
fornication.

Their ways have built
the very empire

that now crumbles around us.

And we must be careful
not to be seduced.

Not anymore.

A bloody Critch.

Except worse,

because I'm a Critch
that could turn them Critch.

They'll put a bullet in my head
on the spot.

They won't.

I'll take care of it.

Anyway...

I'm not the only one
with a secret, am I?

I can smell it all over you.

Don't change the subject.

I'll be shitting bones

when the wolf comes out,

it's freedom.

It was done to you.

Now I know why that book
made such an impression on you.

A child who's half fae,

searching for their parents...

I always wondered
what their story was.

An affair.

A single drunken collision.

I wonder
whether they loved each other,

whether they loved me,

if love would've made
a difference.

I'm sorry.

They must have had a reason
to give you away,

but to shear you like that...

To understand,
you have to know the Burgue.

Life's hard enough for the fae.

Half-bloods don't belong
anywhere.

To the humans,
you're just another Critch.

To the fae...

just a reminder
of the boot on their throats.

They thought
that if they could pass you off,

you'd have a chance
at a better life.

Didn't anyone at the boys' home
know you'd been shorn?

The headmaster knew.

Maybe he was paid
for his silence.

Maybe he just took pity on me.

He kept your secret, though?

He did.

He taught me to hide it.

Told me to steer clear
of doctors, no matter what.

If anyone knew I had one drop
of fae blood in me,

I'd have been on the street.

Certainly never would have been
able to join the Army.

So you never told anyone?

No. Not in the Burgue.

But then it never felt so much
like home.

Not like this.

Not like you.

Where will you go?

Oh. Down the coast to Mag Mor.

It's the biggest shithole
in Tirnanoc.

There's nothing much
to fight over,

so maybe we'll be safe there.

Good luck.

You could come with us.

Good-bye, Tourmaline.

The Burgue is losing the war.

This will all be

And she will stay by your side,
