The Pitch:

The Custodian of Canaan is reborn, but so are the major players in the injustice that was done to her, in 1891. This time around, she is the villain. Revenge has never been so sweet, so irresistible, and so utterly confusing. Because come morning after the bloody wicked night, she can't remember a single thing. Can an MI6 Agent on a mission to steal a virus solve the mystery? Can a doomsday prophetess shine a light on the path to redemption? Can a delinquent street king save the day by blowing up a bridge that is nothing but an illusion? The curse is rolling even in the reverse, but maybe all she has to do to hold on, is to let go...
A bewitching time through time, in one city, and in different lives. This, is Canaan.


Part 1:

When a British Lord decides to chase adventure in the ancient kingdom of Canaan, his curious steps lead him to discover a reality he'd never believed existed; mysterious goings on among surprisingly actively political people; and a love he was determined to build castles for. But tragedy strikes with brutal force, and time cycles a century before opportunity comes to right a terrible wrong. Sometimes, it takes more than a generation to defeat the enemy...

In between: how well do you know your neighbour?
