Five Husbands for My Birthday

“My daughter won’t live like I did. I’ve prepared everything for her.”

Theodora Norton, who suffered her entire life because of her unfaithful husband, leaves behind a final promise to her daughter, Eugenie—one that sounds almost unbelievable. On Eugenie’s 24th birthday, she claims, not one, but several perfect men will come to her.

At the time, Eugenie dismisses it as nothing more than the lingering bitterness of a betrayed wife—until her father brings home a new wife, Agatha, and a half-sister, Apolline, the moment her mother’s funeral ends.

6years later, her father is dead as well.
And on the day Eugenie turns 24, just as she stands on the brink of losing her entire inheritance to Agatha and Apolline—They appear.

Five of the most renowned and flawless men in the empire, just as her mother promised.

Alfred, her older half-brother from a prestigious southern admiral family.
Percival, the northern grand duke and a legendary war hero.
Cassius, a younger man running a suspiciously enigmatic business.
Magnus, her former academy rival and now a powerful patron of the arts.
And Carter, her childhood friend—now the successor to the capital’s high priesthood, who seems to know everything about her.

Thus, Eugenie Norton—once an ordinary graduate student—finds herself bound to five extraordinary men, becoming their wife and stepping into the center of the empire’s most dangerous and intoxicating game… where desire, power, and fate intertwine.
