== Summary ==
== Publisher's summary ==
The year is [[1774]], and Empress [[Catherine of Russia]] has given [[George III's mammoth|a woolly mammoth]] to King [[George III]] of [[England]] as a gift. It's more than just a large animal; it's a relic of history that shouldn't belong in this time, and it's attracted attention. The King is preparing to hold a hunt as part of the celebrations, and in attendance are representatives of the [[American]] [[Colony|colonies]] and of [[Faction Paradox]]...
A [[the War|"War in Heaven"]] is raging between [[time-active]] cultures, each seeking to usurp control of [[history]]. Into this conflict comes [[Faction Paradox]] – a group of time [[terrorist]]s whose appetite for chaos threatens to subvert the entire [[timeline]]. Part story, part history and part puzzle-box, this is a chronicle of protocol and paranoia in a War where the greatest victory of all is to hold on to your own past.
 
In [[1774]], [[England]]'s eccentric King [[George III]] gathers the world's powers – including the [[America]]n [[colony|colonials]], the [[Prussia]]ns and the enigmatic emissaries of Faction Paradox – in [[London]] for a hunt of epic proportions. But as part of this, a serving-girl named [[Scarlette|Isobel]] fatefully encounters the Americans' "hunting dog," a bone-wielding [[Mayakai|warrior]] named [[Mayakatula]], leading to devastating and bloody consequences for this crucible of history.
