SELENE'S POV The Meridian Capital report got to my desk at eight-forty in the morning. Clara had reported it urgent with a single line of annotation beneath the subject heading. You need to read this before the nine o'clock. Meridian Capital was a mid-tier investment firm with a quiet but consistent presence in the city's financial architecture.

The one thing that could stop the Malignobons. And I believe if l could find it, we will not get oblige to stick to each other forever anymore. There's a story that our ancestors had told us. It's about the Vermilion. Once found, it would grant the catcher to have two wishes. I promise you once I find it, one of those wishes that I will make is to break the treaty
