Synopsis "The King of Russia (in English)"
Josanin the Heartless finds himself in a strange land with his old enemies, Prince Wilelm and Princess Ambre. It seems that the multiverse was rent asunder by the interrupted ritual. Now all the possibilities-all the various interpretations of time and space-have a chance at being represented in the reformed universe. And somewhere or another, most are. Realizing that Alimnazer is probably still alive and striving to complete his spell, the trio is faced with the fact that their feud may cost them the future if it continues. Meanwhile, Peter Alexeyevich Romanov, known to history as Czar Peter the Great, awakens in a Kremlin he doesn't recognize, surrounded by enemies from a future he never imagined. Desperate to stop this new enemy, Josef Stalin, from committing the atrocities attributed to him in the future, the Czar allies himself with David Benjamin, an Israeli Nazi-hunter, and Soundbyte, a masked vigilante who wields futuristic technology that ignites Peter's imagination of a Russia reborn. In Philadelphia, the Founding Fathers embark upon an astonishing feat of nation-building across an America transformed, prodded into action by both the extra-terrestrial superhero known as Alien, and the legendary wizard Merlin Ambrosius. As the heroes and ordinary folk of this new reality struggle to survive in a world that teeters on the edge of chaos, paths will cross, fates will be tied together, and common cause will be found. Because Alimnazer is out there. Waiting. And he has all the time in the world.
