Kaleb is 20, an Oblate of Trinity Cloister, and a member of the Watch. It is the only home and life he clearly remembers, but his world is about to change. This is his testimony, so don your armour with prayer, draw your sword, and join him as he seeks his future; but be of good comfort: ‘Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of pestilence when it cometh.’ Job 5:21
