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?

The Whispers of Defiance by dollfvk

ORIGINAL VERSION(french vers coming soon, dm for language suggestions <3) In a world where loyalty is a currency and betrayal is a death sentence, Elara Monroe finds herself in the hands of merciless mercenaries-men who kill without remorse, who thrive in the shadows of war and crime. Stolen from her life and thrust into their world, she is nothing more than a pawn in a dangerous game of power, secrets, and bloodshed. At the center of it all stands Knox Valenti-a ruthless leader with ice-cold precision and a reputation carved in blood. He doesn't trust easily, and when Elara is thrown into his path, he sees her as nothing more than leverage, a bargaining chip in a war far bigger than she understands. But what Knox doesn't expect is for her to fight back. To challenge him at every turn. To awaken something in him that should have stayed buried. And then there's Jax Calloway -his right-hand man, his most lethal weapon, and the man who wants Elara for all the wrong reasons. A devil in disguise, Jax plays with fire like it's his second nature, teasing, taunting, and pushing Elara to the edge of her own self-control. He lives for the tension, for the games of dominance, but what starts as a dangerous game spirals into something neither of them can contain. Trapped in their world, Elara refuses to break. She is defiant. Untouchable. But as lines blur, as secrets unravel, and as the whispers of betrayal grow louder, she is faced with an impossible choice: Trust the men who stole her freedom-or destroy them before they destroy her. But in a world where power is everything, survival comes at a cost. And Elara is about to find out just how high that price truly is. All TW's in the 'about'

Wake Up, Witch by greenwriter

When a malevolent witch wakes up two-hundred years later in a completely different England, she has to solve the mysteries of her past with the help of an old immortal nemesis before her true enemies get to her. *** In 1822, Lady Aster Byrne is considered the most powerful witch in all of England for her ability to step into dreams and manipulate dreamers. But the night of the massacre changes it all. She thought she died, but she didn't. She just slept for two centuries. Two-hundred years later, she wakes up in Genesis City, one of dozens under the Saint Society. She's told that while she slept, witches had survived the huntings and won the war against the vampires. Ever since, the society had thrived, creating borders to keep them safe from the ferals who survived the war. Now that she's awake, she's no longer just the powerful witch who can navigate dreams and nightmares. She's now the possible answer to immortality. And from the moment she wakes up, Aster gets the royal treatment only given to Astrals. That is until she discovers something that will turn her from worshiped to hunted. Something is wrong with her. And something is definitely awry in this new world. As Aster tries to figure out what really happened to her two-hundred years ago, she comes face to face with Harald Evensen, a cold, immortal piece of vampire she hated then and forever. He betrayed his coven to be part of the Saint Society for a very good reason. And part of that reason is her. As much as she wants to have nothing to do with him, she needs him. Being the only one who had lived for the two centuries she was asleep, he has answers to her past. And he has blood to offer. Whether Aster likes it or not, her life depends on both.
