// ABOUT NEVERNIGHT ADAPTATION: //
Nevernight tells the story of a young woman who, after the slaughter of her entire family, journeys to join a fabled school of assassins, in order to seek revenge against those who destroyed her house. This story is one of heartbreak, loss and triumph; along with her daemon companion, Mia Corvere must navigate the journey to the Red Church, survive those who seek to ruin her and elude the ever-meddling dark Gods. This 3-part online short-form series will be available worldwide in late 2019 on Piéra’s YouTube channel in partnership with Screen Australia, Google, and YouTube.
