On a planet already broken and divided, an unlikely band of friends are forced apart as a devastating time war rips their world asunder and threatens to destroy all of time and space. In the struggle for peace, their lives will never be the same again. But can Savalia, a poet turned soldier; Mordicai, a school drop-out turned engineer; Kendo, an idealist turned senator; and Tor Fasa, a respected academic turned war criminal, reunite to save the universe from total destruction? This is the story of how they fought the war and how the war fought them. Proceeds from Seasons of War: Gallifrey will go to Caudwell Children.

In 83rd century Humania on the refugee moon Kat A, a religion dedicated to the life and work of Vincent Van Gogh becomes the cover for an audacious art heist by newly installed High Priest, Theo Treeves. The Chronosmiths, Tor Fasa, Kendo, Mordicai and Savalia, are assigned by the multi-species employment agency Aliens for Hire to investigate Treeves. Has he been breaking strict anti-time travel laws to acquire new originals to display in the Yellow Temple… can they catch him in the act… and just what is he hiding inside the mysterious Blackest of Blacks room? Journeying across Vincent’s timeline, the Chronosmiths have their own agenda in play, one that could turn the Goghian faith upside down as they uncover the truth behind the myth and the man behind the paintings.

On 21st century Earth, the Eleanor's Tears tea plantation has become the focal point of a potential extinction-level event. Stranded mere days from a cataclysmic event with no way off the planet, the Chronosmiths—Mordicai, Savalia, Kendo, and Tor Fasa—take it upon themselves to save the planet. Unbeknownst to them, they're not the only ones zeroing in on Eleanor's Tears. Time-travelling freelancer Tati Rhys has her eyes on a dangerous prize within the estate, and she has no intention of leaving without it. Meanwhile, the Department of Temporal Infractions is closing in to shut down the divergent timeline—and their chief, Isaac Edensh, believes the Chronosmiths are to blame for the incoming disaster. With time ticking down, unlikely truces will be made and dark secrets will be uncovered. At the centre of it all lies a forgotten story demanding to be told, and the Chronosmiths are determined that it finally be heard.
