41 Chapter 41: Losing the Vest

When Xaviera found out that today was also Caleb’s

birthday, her first reaction was, “What does this have

On the card was written: “Happy Birthday.” The signature appeared to be from Black Tide, the handwriting erratic and flamboyant.

Caleb put the card aside and picked up the silver cuff. Intricate patterns covered its surface, which upon closer inspection, resembled a coiled five–clawed golden dragon.

of soaring through the clouds and mist.
