Fans can&#039;t enough of fantasy series and seems lie neither can creators as the next big project on Netflix will be The Nightjar.

Another Fantasy Series on the Way as Netflix Adapts the Nightjar by Deborah Hewitt

From Bridgerton to The Witcher, most of Netflix’s most popular shows find their
roots in books. This rings true for other production houses as well. Adapting
from books allows creators to tap into a market that is already created. Since
fans of the books guarantee a pre-existing market, bringing it on the screen has
become more prevalent than ever. Another name in this long list of book
adaptations is The Nightjar.


WHAT IS THE NIGHTJAR ABOUT?

There is just something about the fantasy genre that just lures people on.

From modern classics like Harry Potter to legendary series like The Lord of The
Rings, or, from Netflix’s [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] latest The
Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] to television’s most
popular show Game of Thrones, we see fantasy series take over the entertainment
industry time and again.


THEME OF THE BOOK

The Nightjar is one such similar series that follows the life of teenager Alice
Wyndham. Alice has lived her entire life terrified of the visions of birds that
aren’t visible to anyone except her. After an encounter she can only describe as
extremely weird, Alice realizes that she is an “aviarist”. This ability allows
her to see the titular nightjars, magical birds that guard human souls.

Hence, when her best friend is on the verge of death, Alice must do everything
in her power to find her friend’s nightjar. Only then, will Alice have a chance
of saving her.

Of course, what’s a quest without a villain? Or better yet, a whole bunch of
them? Alice has to save her friend while saving herself from a group of very
powerful people. Their aim is to kill all forms of magic, and this,
unfortunately, includes Alice herself. The Nightjar follows the plot of the 2019
novel of the same name. The contemporary fantasy novel was author Deborah
Hewitt’s first novel and already has a book 2 in the series named The Rookery.
