Orobelle, Duchess of Diamonds, is the child holding the multiverse together. This cosmic duty, accorded to her by her mother, was meant to seal her claim to the throne.
Instead, it has only drawn the attention of a foe from a different world, hell-bent on capturing and using Orobelle for their own ends.
Scattered across many universes are eight people who share the burden of safeguarding the foundations of the cosmos.

That was the year Flight MH370 vanished, the year the ebola epidemic began. I was a year into my bachelor’s degree, and my father was battling Stage 4 cancer. That was the year I… Continue reading A tale of three multiverses
