THE HEN THAT LAID TIME.: A Novel-Thriller with Eggs, Sarcasm, and a Paranormal Investigation.

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever wanted something so badly that the entire universe seemed to conspire against you?

Not just little things. Not just "I wish this traffic would move faster" or "I hope they haven't sold out of the good cheese." No.

Something real. Something that lives in your chest like a second heart, beating alongside the first one, reminding you every single day that you don't have it.

Maybe it's love. Maybe it's a child. Maybe it's the one thing that would make your life feel complete — and everyone keeps telling you to be patient, to wait, to accept that some things just aren't meant to be.

Now.

Imagine you find a way to change that.

Imagine you discover that the universe isn't random at all — that there are rules, ancient and hidden, and if you can just find the right key, you can unlock the door to everything you've ever wanted.

Now imagine that key is a collection of fifty-two jewel-encrusted eggs made by a Russian jeweller for a dead empire.

And that you're willing to steal every single one of them.

(Pause. The music shifts — becomes warmer, more intimate)

This is the story of Agrafena.

In 1903, she was a lady-in-waiting at the court of Tsar Nicholas II. She had a good position, a decent wardrobe, and a problem that no amount of imperial favour could fix.

She wanted children. The universe said no.

But Agrafena wasn't the kind of woman who accepted "no" from anyone — least of all the universe.

So she found a book. She found a ritual. And she discovered that the Fabergé eggs — those glittering symbols of Easter, rebirth, and life itself — weren't just expensive toys for the empress to play with.
