THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES
WILL HER STORY END HISTORY?
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.1 TIMES OF LONDON
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.

KINGDOM UNITED
Our second graphic novel series is a 220 pages thriller blending family drama, fast action, and speculative fiction with occasional violence, pop culture and humour. The action takes place in familiar parts of East and West London. KINGDOM UNITED is being released in four issues between now and Summer 2025.
Issue 1 collects chapter 1 and 2 and is due to be published December 2024.
Woven within the complex plot are philosophical questions about the nature of Loyalty, Family and Identity. This story started as an idea while the author was working on the design for a restaurant near Earl’s Court. He drew on his memories of working across India, Malaysia and Singapore….and, oddly, of his first job cleaning kitchens, 35 years ago.
KINGDOM UNITED
WHO WILL CLEAN UP LONDON?
Neeta Rao is a London botanist with a fondness for fungi and rescuing stray cats. Recently returned from a long study trip to South-East Asia, she looks forward to starting her first job at Kew Gardens.
All she wants is to study and follow in the footsteps of her late mother, a prominent Singaporean ecologist who died 20 years ago in unresolved circumstances. Following this tragedy, her father Anand Rajah moved to London with Neeta, started a cleaning business and eventually remarried to Suzy Smith, an English lawyer, with whom he has a son, Vikesh.
Now, the aging entrepreneur wants to retire and is concerned about who will succeed him. Family matters soon get more complicated as long-simmering issues erupt one after another, testing Neeta's resolve and loyalties in ways she would have never suspected.
Meanwhile, the streets of London are descending into chaos, the prisons are full, the authorities are in meltdown, shady property development are turning the city into dangerous building sites, and gangs are terrorising the streets of the capital.
When the violence comes hitting home, Neeta must choose between staying a dutiful daughter and law-abiding citizen or turn the family business into a secret vigilante organisation to save her neighbourhood.
