All The King's Men

Season 1, Ep. 335

When death is only a setback, kidnappers need a better plan.

In the shadowy hours before dawn, a baby with a universe‑shaping future is snatched from his pram — and his immortal family will cross planets, time, and the veil itself to get him back. But in a world where emperors can resurrect, brothers bicker over duck‑feeding, and even reapers wear nappies, nothing is as simple as ransom and revenge.

Rachel Lawson’s Gothic Magicians universe returns in a darkly funny, high‑stakes tale of cosmic politics, family chaos, and the thin line between life and the afterlife.
