Chapter 616

Holding Sophie close, he stared into the flames, his mind racing with thoughts of the dream and the old village he had discovered. There were too many coincidences, too many unanswered questions. But he knew one thing for certain: he and his wives would face whatever challenges lay ahead, together.

And as the night drew on, Jude found solace in that thought, even as the unknown threat loomed ever closer.

The night after the battle with the skeletal invaders, a sense of unease lingered in the air. Jude and his wives had survived the ordeal, but the presence of the ghost ship and its eerie crew haunted their thoughts. As the group huddled around the campfire, exhaustion etched on their faces, Jude felt the weight of leadership press down on him more heavily than ever.
