'Nothing in Gwen Jones' life is going right. Fourteen year old Gwen's used to change, to going from place to place, even moving from her native Canada to Australia - but that's when her mother was OK. Before The Change...and the visions started happening. And before the black rain began to fall...and her mother retreats into a strange, unreachable world, and Gwen herself is thrust into a new family - having to make new friends, and learning new things. Magic things. Scary things. How can Gwen save her mother? Who is the old man who keeps appearing to her in visions? Who is really behind it all? And, just who is Gwen, really? Could she really be Guinevere, Queen of Camelot? And just what does that mean? Well, it all adds up to magic, danger, romance, suspense and mystery!'

'Life's tough for Gwen with a new school, a mother possessed by a demon, and a bossy wizard who calls her Guinevere and teaches her magic. Add a faerie bodyguard who's a real pest, a style queen from hell, and a teacher who evokes the dark forces of an ancient evil, and Gwen has to call on all her magic powers to protect herself. Gwen's boyfriend Josh, and his sister Tasha are Gwen's allies, but no-one can protect Gwen from the dangers of her own heart when the dark and mysterious Michael comes into her life'.

'When the Black Dog of Death and a demon headmaster threaten her friends, Gwen risks everything to help them. As she and Michael are drawn deeper into the dark side of magic she becomes increasingly isolated, and when she gives up her magic powers to please Josh, even Merlin can't protect her from the forces of evil gathering against her.'

'Gwen is in a bind: someone has put a spell on her to prevent her from leaving the shop; Gadowain is still hanging around; Michael is in terrible danger; Merlin is in strife; and Morgana's power just keeps getting greater. Gwen's usual resourcefulness is at full stretch. But there is help from an unexpected source, many surprises in store and finally, the most amazing twist of all!'
