He may get his chance, for Titania is collapsing under grief. Boy, a changeling brought in by Oberon to amuse her and for whom she felt the first maternal feelings of her immortal life, has died of a very human disease, leukaemia. Consumed by the pain of her loss, Titania makes a terrible mistake and tells Oberon she never loved him. Furious, he abandons her and shows no signs of returning.

But perhaps if Titania releases Puck, who the other faeries refer to as the Beast, then Oberon will have to return to enslave him again. But it isn't only faeries in the park this night. Three heartbroken humans are also lost within its confines. Henry is finally loosening some of the bonds of his paralysing obsessive-compulsive behaviour, but too late to save his relationship with his beloved Bobby.
The Great Night
Molly, meanwhile, shows no signs of recovery from the suicide of her boyfriend Ryan two years previously. Haunted by the scars of her upbringing, she considers it a small victory to have even come out of the house this warm summer evening. Finally, Will, a tree surgeon, is hoping that the party he's heading to will include Carolina, who left him after his own infidelity. He's desperately seeking some way, somehow to get back with her.
These three are connected in unexpected ways and all have been previously touched by the magic that's about to unfold in all its terrible glory. And what would a Midsummer Night's Dream homage be without Mechanicals? A group of five homeless people are in the park, too, trying — for reasons too complicated to quite explain here — to put together a musical version of Soylent Green.
Puck, seizing a chance for exquisite torture, "marries" Titania to a homeless man, forcing her to stage the musical in impossibly grand fashion. But is there a way to stop Puck before he eats the entire world? And what might it cost? Again, this all may sound like unbearable whimsy, but Adrian is such a forceful, potent writer that this non-realistic world commands its own searing, tangible realism on the page.
For this isn't only a novel about magic and faeries, it's a novel about grief and loss and heartbreak.
How, Titania wonders, can she continue to exist when Boy's death "has taken all the love from the world"? How indeed, when the only answer, as one character puts it, is that it "won't be all right, not exactly, not ever. But it will be a little better soon. Daz, is the fourth member of the gang who is described as the eternal pessimist of the group.
