They called her Prism, as if that was her name. Forced to take on a
new identity to protect herself from a still-angry people, Merelin
Lindon wants nothing more than to help bring the world of Arah Byen
into some kind of balance. But nothing is going as planned. The
High King Zhabyr is falling apart. Merelin's allies have scattered,
and even Yatol is acting more mysterious and tormented than ever.
And just when Merelin believes things can't get any worse, she is
framed for a terrible crime, and deserted by those who should have
defended her. But Merelin soon realizes that she is not the victim
of a horrible plot, but just one more pawn in a deadly game she
never really understood. It is the game immortals play, and nothing
can prepare her for the truths that are coming to light, or the
enemy she knows she will have to face. In the coming fight Merelin
cannot stand alone. But can she bring her allies together before it
is too late?

fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite
seem to be working. But tonight is different. Tonight, when he
wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It's ancient, elemental, a
force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from
Conor. It wants the truth. The final idea of the late,
award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd, developed into an extraordinary
and heartbreaking novel by Patrick Ness, and now adapted for an Old
Vic production that brings the tale to a new audience.
