Book Description
===================
A monumental speculative fiction story of love, loyalty, politics, and
conscience, set in parallel Londons.

“This mystical coming-of-age tale…is sure to please fans of thought-
provoking speculative fiction.”
—Publishers Weekly

“A River Called Time is a masterful reimagining of the African
diaspora’s influence on England, and on the world. It’s a grand tale
and still an intimate portrait of loss and love. What glory and
influence would Africa enjoy if colonialism had never occurred?
Courttia Newland reshapes our vision of the past, present and future
by taking this one question seriously. The result is something truly
special. No other way to put it, this book is true Black magic.”
—Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling

“Courttia Newland’s writing is rich with passion and humanity. He
manages to convey great depth without ever losing his lightness of
touch. A rare feat only reserved for the few.”
—Steve McQueen, Academy Award–winning film director

The Ark was built to save the lives of the many, but rapidly became a
refuge for the elite, the entrance closed without warning.
Years after the Ark was cut off from the world—a world much like our
own, but in which slavery has never existed—a chance of survival
within the Ark’s confines is granted to a select few who can prove
their worth. Among their number is Markriss Denny, whose path to
future excellence is marred only by a closely guarded secret: without
warning, his spirit leaves his body, allowing him to see and
experience a world far beyond his physical limitations.
Once inside the Ark, Denny learns of another with the same power,
whose existence could spell catastrophe for humanity. He is forced
into a desperate race to understand his abilities, and in doing so
uncovers the truth about the Ark, himself, and the people he thought
he once knew.
