Vol.I TIMES OF LONDON
Alex Campbell is a Canadian musician struggling with a conflicted identity, a tragic past and repressed supernatural abilities. She is a primed time-bomb in the making. Orphaned at a young age, life has never been easy and is about to get a lot worse. Following the inheritance of a decaying 19th century London house from a mysterious ancestor, she moves to Britain, hoping for a fresh start and a better future.
Soon, her renovation plans are being thwarted by agents of a shadowy corporation with ancient roots and a malevolent agenda. While fighting against their mounting hostility, Alex makes some shocking discoveries about her family and herself that alters her grip on reality.
When she discovers a mysterious artefact that her opponents have been seeking through the ages, she becomes the catalyst for a chain reaction of horrifying events, that reveals a millennia-old conspiracy, unravels the spacetime continuum and spells the end of history as we know it.
Vol.2 GHOSTS OF SOUND
This story continues the extraordinary adventures of time-travelling musician Alex Campbell, started in TIMES OF LONDON, the first volume of THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES. The action now takes place between Scotland and Nova Scotia in 1881.
Born from the ashes of the American Civil War and the activities of European colonial powers, the republic of Varangia is now on a brutal conquest of Eastern Canada and beyond. Nothing seems able to stand in their path as they seek their manifest destiny, led by President Godwin Deblanc and the mystical order of the Immaculate Oblati.
As they extend their reach, Varangia and its dominions are being turned into a patriarchal religious supremacy enabled by social control, wanton resource extraction and a powerful military-industrial complex. Indigenous populations and non-white immigrants are treated as expandable commodities for cheap labour and much worse.
When Alex stands up to protect a group of trafficked women and children, she starts a chain of events that could have dreadful consequences for her and the people she seeks to protect. She now finds herself facing multiple threats and new horrors, the likes of which, she could have never imagined.
GHOSTS OF SOUND is the second volume in the epic saga THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES created and written by Henry Chebaane. Masterfully illustrated by veteran graphic artist Stephen Baskerville, this novel is a gritty blend of science-fiction, horror and alternative history spiced with occasional wry humour and philosophical musings.
GHOSTS OF SOUND is being released in three issues between now and Summer 2025.
Issue 1 collects chapter 7 and 8 and is due to be published December 2024.
