For twenty-six years, Grand Duke Cassian Aurelian lived a perfectly ordinary life.
Well, as ordinary as a man could live while governing half the empire.
He had no wife.
No husband.
No children.
No lovers.
No scandals.
Then one morning, everything changed.
"My lord, there are people outside claiming to be your family."
Cassian expected fraudsters.
What he didn't expect was a crying child calling him Father.
Or a queen from a foreign kingdom demanding to know why he hadn't come home.
Or a terrifying archmage insisting they had been married for forty years.
Or an elven prince threatening war unless his husband was returned immediately.
The problem?
They weren't lying.
Every one of them possessed memories of a life shared with him.
A life he had never lived.
A life from another world.
As more visitors appear from countless parallel lifetimes, Cassian learns a horrifying truth:
For reasons unknown, the barrier separating realities is collapsing.
Versions of people from thousands of worlds are being pulled into his.
And every single one of them is looking for him.
Some want their lover back.
Some want their father.
Some want revenge.
And some are convinced that if Cassian dies in this world, every version of him across existence will die as well.
Now trapped between desperate spouses, possessive children, jealous ex-lovers, and enemies from lives he doesn't remember, Cassian must uncover why the universes are converging.
Because among the crowd of people claiming to love him...
Yesterday, I was a single Grand Duke.
Today, I apparently have seventeen wives, nine husbands, forty-three children, three ex-spouses, and a dragon demanding child support.
The worst part?
None of them belong to this lifetime.
