Duchess Orobelle is the knot that holds reality together. If she dies, all would come to an end. For all twelve years of her life, Orobelle has been a prize, coveted by those both within and beyond the Queendom where she lives.
Scattered across many worlds and eras are eight others, sharing Orobelle's role of safeguarding the foundations of the cosmos, and bound to her by threads spanning the multiverse. But none of them are aware of their preordained role, or even aware that more than one world exists. Most of them are simply living out their lives, coming to terms with their strange powers, trying to live in spite of them.
When Orobelle's life comes into jeopardy, she comes crossing the boundaries between the universes in search of them. All at once they find themselves pulled into a dooming plot that will soon drag every world into its event horizon.
