Renowned theater critic John Lahr created a bold reworking of Richard Condon’s political thriller, updating the action to the 1990s while retaining the core premise of a brainwashed war hero who’s programmed to become an assassin.

With secrets unraveling, friends and enemies creeping out of the shadows, and a terrifying past coming to light, Lyric is faced with a decision that could decide the fate of the world. Trusting others has never been a problem for her. It’s why she’s in this mess, but believing in herself enough to unlock the magic of her destiny? That’s a different story. If her own mother abandoned her with a twelve-year-old, how “special” could she really be?

With the pirates closer to finding the power to take Skyla and an ancient temple trial looming above Lyric and her friends, things couldn’t get much more ominous. Add unresolved feelings for someone who should be an enemy and so many internal doubts it’s suffocating, and Lyric’s life couldn’t get more stressful. Until the very battle she went to Neverland to stop appears on her doorstep. When everything she tried to save slips through her fingers, Hook seals his fate. She won’t rest until he’s defeated, even if it means leaving Skyla behind. Again.

With everything Lyric loves gone or at risk, she has no choice but to follow Bay on a mission to stop the pirates before they take all of Skyla. Their destination? Neverland. From the moment she steps foot on the island, Lyric can’t help but feel like she knows the magical world in the stars, but she has very little time to dwell on that sensation. With krakens, sirens, and the very island itself trying to swallow her, she has to focus. Get to the pirates. Defeat the pirates. Save her home. Or die trying.
