“There’s a story my father's friend told once—about men who kept tokens from the sea, traded them like talismans. Said they’d keep misfortune from one another's families if they buried them where the gulls nested. Old men, foolish and protective. Maybe someone’s found an old token and thinks it's worth hunting.” He looked at Kristy directly. “People get strange when the sea spits up old things. They think treasure, or justice.

Kristy Gabres - Part 1: The FoundationsEvery story has a beginning, and Kristy’s starts far from the spotlight. In this first chapter, we look back at the early influences that shaped her—from the quiet determination of her hometown to the first moment she realized her calling.
