When the External Womb Programme is launched, the news is controversial. Hundreds take to the streets in protest, feeling strongly that growing a baby outside of the human body is "unnatural". But thousands more people rejoice: at last, an alternative for those who wish to have children but worry about the physical toll it may take.

It's been nearly a decade since Rakta Velbrun of Gelvurt battled the evil Zactrik. Eight long years, to be exact, during which he slept the sleep of death, and those who loved and relied on him were forced to grieve, cope, and move on as best they could. Now, revived by a mysterious force, Rakta awakens to a world that is at once achingly familiar and dangerously broken.

Fighting monsters and managing a lordship are nothing compared to raising adolescents. And Rakta Velbrun should know—he’s battled legendary foes to earn renown as a fighter, and delicately navigated dangerous politics to win respect as a ruler. But none of that was as difficult as being a single father to his son, Dalton, and two daughters, Daka and Natakia, all now on the threshold of their tenth birthday. Each of Rakta’s children has his or her own strengths as well as concerns.

Not much daunts Rakta Velbrun. He has immigrated from Rusk to the Certillian Empire, traveled the realm battling unspeakable creatures with his adventuring guild, and faced off against the Warlock King himself. But when his wife, Lydia, passes away in childbirth, leaving him the sole caretaker of their three infant children, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory.
