"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top." When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse. A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.

History tells us that once upon a time, King Arthur had a son named Duran Pendragon, and he died fighting valiantly in the mighty battle of Camlann. Did he really? Merlin thought that he was protecting Duran by casting him into the time vortex, but rather, he was tricked by the treacherous witch that was since long time a close and admirable consultant. Generations later, an unknowing girl named Soleils stumbles across an ancient spell book, which once belonged to Merlin. By accident she releases Duran from the time warp; unleashing a deadly curse cast by Mordred, a long time enemy of Duran's father King Arthur. Now, Duran, stuck in the future generations later, must find his way back to Camelot and defeat Morgasa, Mordred's evil daughter who has taken over Camelot and set loose an evil that will soon cross over to the future Generation that he is in. Only one problem. Duran is in the year 2012 and his only help is an irritating seventeen year old girl. Could things get any worse?

"Not just a flavour, but a way of life." When seventeen-year-old Flo Kennedy is forced to up sticks and trade her life in London for a sleepy seaside town on the south coast, she's anything but excited. Walden-on-Sea could win awards for being Britain's dullest town, and with a population consisting almost entirely of over sixties, teenagers are an endangered species. Silently struggling with her parents' death and separation from her sister, Flo's convinced she's in for the worst summer of her life. But when she meets the guy in the ice cream shop, things start to change. It's not long before she lands herself a job, a new set of friends and maybe even the beginnings of first romance. For the first time in several years, she's happy. But Flo knows all too well that things can't stay perfect forever, and after all, being on top of the world only gives you further to fall.
