Synopsis

England 14th century. Plague and bandit attacks threaten remote communities and the forests that surround them add nameless terrors. The people labour under the yoke of two oppressive powers - the Church laying claim to their souls and the Knights, the feudal warlords, who command life after death.

Nicholas, a young priest, is discovered in the act of adultery by an enraged husband who dies in the ensuing struggle. Appalled by his fall from grace, he turns his back on the Church and goes on the run.

Destitute and forced to hide his privileged origins, Nicholas joins a troupe of travelling actors who have just lost one of their number. He is falling for Sarah, the beautiful sister of the troupe's leader, but the shame of his past leads him to conceal his passion. He begs to stay and learn the mysteries of the actor's craft.

The small town where they plan to perform The Fall of Adam and Eve is under a dark cloud of fear. A boy has been murdered, and the town's sheriff has been swift to lay the blame on a deaf and dumb girl, Martha, who can do nothing to defend herself, but whose striking looks captivate Martin. Realising that the crime is not the first, the actors set on a course of action, which will expose a serial killer.

Synopsis

The battle between good and evil will be stronger and harder than ever.

Every hundred years, the evil sorceress Morgana returns to claim Fingall's talisman from Merlin with which she intends to destroy the world. For the last fourteen hundred years she has failed - now she intends to conquer all.

Young Ben Clark is unwittingly thrown into this ancient battle when his family moves to a new town and he befriends his elderly magician neighbour, 'Milner'. Ben has a natural talent for magic, and wants to learn all he can from this old man.

Ben carries the same scar as the original staff bearer fourteen hundred years before him and both Morgana and 'Milner' see this as a sign that this time the battle between good and evil will be stronger and harder than ever.

Ben must make his own choice between good and evil as he is drawn into battle and must draw on his own spirit and magic to decide which path to follow and hence, the fate of the world as we know it.

During a trip to India to visit his father, a young man wakes up on a sun-drenched beach, unsure of where he is or how he got there. Before long he finds himself on an extraordinary journey meeting a series of ever more peculiar characters, in the search for his Dad.
