Centurium, The Land of Creedon

For most of his young life, Nathan has been plagued by recurring dreams.

Sometimes these dreams are confusing, sometimes exciting - and sometimes even scary. What they all have in common, however, is that he doesn't have any idea what they are really about!

Every night he is visited by frogs as big as dogs, giant slugs and creatures with horns that stretch back like handlebars.

There are screaming birds that soar through the sky and monsters made of rock. Trees a million feet tall and voices that boom in the night.

Every time he has these dreams he tries his best to figure them out but, more often than not, overthinking them causes blackouts; and Nathan is always left feeling further away from an answer, than ever.

Everything changes, however, when one night a strange little creature visits him. A creature he isn't meant to have seen - and for once it isn't a dream.

On capturing the creature, Nathan finds that the world into which he has been immersed nightly, might not necessarily be a dream but rather, somewhere he is destined to be.

And so the adventure begins.

Alongside his two best friends Ben and Ellie and his eccentric headmaster, Mr Melrick, Nathan unlocks the world, a world far beyond his imagination; and he is taken on a quest not just to uncover it - but to save it.
