The YA trilogy beginning with The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey is heading for a small screen adaptation.

BCDF have acquired the rights and Chris Hill is penning the script. “It’s fast-paced, action-packed, and full of laughs” said BCDF’s Dal Farra. “We are very excited at the prospect of this trilogy making its way to television and believe that Echo’s snarky, bitter, and funny character should attract an amazing young actress to lead the franchise.”

According to Deadlibne, the trilogy follows a modern NYC girl caught in a war between two ancient races – the Avicen (feathered, bird-like people with magic running through their veins) and the Drakharin (a people descended from dragons). Age-old enchantments have kept them hidden from all but one human: the rebellious teen Echo, a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market. The book charts her struggle to uncover the legendary magic that will end the conflict between them.
