This is a story of two prophets.

Yara has been chosen by God to slay Dominic, the ruthless leader of the army of Bad Guys. Cast out by their family and reeling from a destructive relationship, Yara has never felt weaker; but with nothing to lose, they reluctantly strike a deal. Abandoning their quiet days of embroidery and obsessive cleaning, Yara embarks on a perilous odyssey designed to prepare them for the daunting mission ahead.

Meanwhile Adrena, a disillusioned prophet with a terrifying secret power, is determined to become the hero of this story. Feeling snubbed, and desperate to win back the glory of God's approval and the promise of heaven, Adrena must first persuade Harpo - the leader of the Good Guys - that her plan is God's will.

Their parallel journeys unfold in a series of unforgettable adventures as they encounter incredible characters, and confront the transformative revelations of love, death and destiny. Funny, clever, sacred and subversive, Canon is an intensely captivating, irreverent epic from a singularly brilliant new voice in fiction.
