DreamWorks has optioned the young adult fantasy/suspense novel Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" films) and Jeffrey Clifford will co-executive produce the project.
"We found not just a fantastic story, but one set in a mystical and fascinating world that will translate well to the big screen," said DreamWorks production president Holly Bario. "We are excited to begin adapting this book and look forward to working with David Heyman who has unparalleled proven success in this genre."
Shadow and Bone is the first in a planned trilogy of novels. The second, Siege and Storm, is scheduled to be published in June 2013, with the third and final book to be published in Summer 2014.

Shadow and Bone
Leigh Bardugo
The Grisha Trilogy (1st in series)
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life — a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha … and the secrets of her heart.
