Lyra 's Oxford is set when Lyra Silvertongue is 15 , two years after the end of the trilogy . It was released to quench the thirst of fans of the trilogy while they wait for the unspecified release of The Book of Dust , and also to expand upon Pullman 's themes from the trilogy .

The preface by Pullman begins : `` This book contains a story and several other things . The other things might be connected with the story , or they might not ; they might be connected to stories that have n't appeared yet . It 's hard to tell . ''  - Lyra Belacqua , also known as Lyra Silvertongue, is the heroine of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. Lyra is a young girl who inhabits a universe parallel to our own. Brought up in the cloistered world of Jordan College, Oxford, she finds herself embroiled in a cosmic war between Lord Asriel on the one side, and the first angel to come into being, called The Authority, and his Regent, called Metatron, on the other.  - Philip Pullman CBE, FRSL (born 19 October 1946) is an English writer. He is the author of several best-selling books, most notably the fantasy trilogy "His Dark Materials" and the fictionalised biography of Jesus, "The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ". In 2008, "The Times" named Pullman one of the "50 greatest British writers since 1945". In a 2004 poll for the BBC, Pullman was named the eleventh most influential person in British culture.  - Jesus (; c. 4 BC  c. AD 30/33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a Jewish preacher and religious leader who became the central figure of Christianity. Christians believe him to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah (Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically, although the quest for the historical Jesus has produced little agreement on the historical reliability of the Gospels and on how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Jesus was a Galilean Jew who was baptized by John the Baptist and subsequently began his own ministry, preaching his message orally and often being referred to as "rabbi". He was arrested and tried by the Jewish authorities, and was crucified by the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect. Jesus debated fellow Jews on how to best follow God, performed healings, taught in parables and gathered followers. After his death, his followers believed he rose from the dead, and the community they formed eventually became the Christian Church.  - The Subtle Knife, the second book in the "His Dark Materials" series, is a young-adult fantasy novel written by Philip Pullman and published in 1997. The novel continues the adventures of Lyra Belacqua as she investigates the mysterious Dust phenomenon and searches for her father. Will Parry is introduced as a companion to Lyra, and together they explore the new realms to which they have both been introduced.  - The Book of Dust is a forthcoming novel by Philip Pullman. It will be a companion novel to the "His Dark Materials" trilogy, and will feature Lyra Belacqua as a main character. Initially, Pullman said that the story will take place two years after the events of "Lyra's Oxford" and will tie into that book, with Lyra being "about sixteen." He has since said "it might be in two volumes and I think one might take place in the time before His Dark Materials and the other might take place afterwards." The book will also be "about Dust," and will address the lack of positive portrayals of religion in the "His Dark Materials" books, although it will not be a continuation of the trilogy.    Given the paragraphs above, decide what entity has the relation 'characters' with 'lyra belacqua'.

lyra's oxford
