When immortals start meddling with a century-old murder mystery, the King of the Eternal City summons Delphi Janjack: fixer, tour guide, gentleman’s gentleman...a one-person army meant to solve problems without mussing his top hat and brocaded vest.

With the heir to Court Royale missing, the last bastion of human independence faces inevitable destruction.

Multiverse theory, Winnie knows, is all too real, though she has never been anything but an observer of its implications - a secret she keeps hidden from just about everyone. But her physicist father, wrapped up in his research and made cruel by his grief after the loss of Winnie’s mother, believes that if he pushes her hard enough, she can choose one split over another and maybe, just maybe, change their future and their past.
