Sometimes the world can seem boring, harsh and hostile, especially to a teenager. This is certainly what it feels like for the American boy Ben, as he tries to get used to living in a foreign country after his parents’ divorce, when he never wanted to leave his home in the first place. He doesn’t like Budapest, and his new classmates are none too friendly either. He’s happiest retreating into his own little world with his cherished films about the Middle Ages to keep him company, daydreaming about his life as a knight in some parallel universe... Then something happens to make Ben’s wish come true – only not quite in the way he imagined. From one moment to the next, he finds himself transported to a strange, unfamiliar place with the talkative, inquisitive Maya, a girl from his new class at school. They have no idea how and why they got there, or what to make of this unpredictable, magical land. Then there is the mystery of the mysterious paintbrush that Ben found before their unusual journey, and what it has to do with the strange events that unfold. One thing is certain: they have to get to the bottom of the mysteries if they want to get home, but the adventures that await them turn out to be beyond their wildest imaginings.

SOME DREAMS ARE MEANT TO DIE.
An engineer craving to become a warrior. A majyu with his future bound in filial piety… and a dark sorcerer who steals women into the night.
Twins Genshu Hidekazu and Genshu Masanori dream of joining the ranks of the warrior elite, the bushi whose skill with blades and the Dragon Goddess' divine energy, ki, are an object of legends. However, the Genshu family, once a great clan of wyvern slayers, seeks to usher in an era of peace with the brothers Hidekazu and Masanori at the forefront—pulling both teens further from their aspirations of epic battles, monster hunting, and protecting Seiryuu.
Instead, as the Genshu clan's dutiful scion, Hidekazu studies the art of ki defence and prepares to take his father's place as clan head, despite his potential to become one of the greatest majyu—ki wielders—Seiryuu has ever known.
Masanori trains as a ki-engineer alongside a team of other brilliant minds, inventing the tools that will one day make Seiryuu as powerful as it was before the fall of the Warlock Empire. But in secret... he trains with his mother's katana... wishing, hoping, for something more.
The twins' shared dream of bushido seems so far out of reach... until their best friend is kidnapped by a dark sorcerer, and they learn she is only one of many.
Hidekazu and Masanori aren't trained in the ways of battle, but for them, nothing will keep them from bringing their friend home safe.
Lives are at stake, and if this sorcerer has his way... all of Seiryuu is in danger.
For fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Japanese mythology and folklore, and those who like a darker twist to their epic fantasy adventures.

When Penny solves the riddle of an unbreakable knot in time, she unwittingly releases two time-travelers from the distant past into Piper Falls. The town is plagued by a series of baffling events related to the appearance of a strange elf-like creature. Penny's science teacher and mentor, Mr. Myrdin, recognizes him as the Coch Coblyn. An evil spirit from Celtic myth with a penchant for igniting city destroying fires.
Compounding the mystery is the discovery of a prehistoric scepter, made of impossibly pure silver that's intertwined with Seneca creation myth and Master Poe's past. The silver scepter draws the sole survivor from the ancient civilization that created it to Piper Falls. After traveling forward thousands of years in time, he plans to take the scepter back to his own time and save his people from the cataclysm that destroyed them.
Stumped by the escalating pranks of the Coch Coblyn, the Deputy Sheriff contacts his good friend, Darin Kolchak, a paranormal investigator. Kolchak answers the call by bringing the latest in ghost-hunting technology to town in his refurbished U-haul. Kolchak's methods may not be conventional, but they lead him dangerously close to the truth. Penny and her friends race to unravel the secrets of the artifact, dodge detection, and prevent either of the new arrivals from using it to return to power.
