DARK RISE

C.S. Pacat

The dark will rise. Who will fall? And who will stand?
The ancient world of magic is no more—its heroes are dead, and its great battles between Light and Dark are long forgotten. Only the Stewards—sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever returns—remember. 16-year-old Will has no idea of his real identity—the Dark King reborn. When the Stewards mistake his powers for those of a chosen hero, Will is taken into their Order in London and trained to fight for the Light. Believing himself loyal to the Light, Will finds himself falling in love with Katherine—a girl descended from the champion who once
killed the Dark King—unaware that their identities will doom them to opposite sides.

Cat became a publishing phenomenon with CAPTIVE PRINCE, her adult fantasy trilogy. It began as online serialized fiction—where it gained viral attention and success, with over 100 million hits to the webpage—and went on to become a USA Today bestseller after it was acquired and traditionally published. It has been published in 9 international markets, and continues to generate voluminous fan fiction and fan art.

The series helped Cat develop a significant, dedicated, and intensely loyal YA fanbase—including V.E. Schwab, Rainbow Rowell and Sarah J. Maas—despite its adult content. It was the fifth most-blogged-about series in 2016—behind only SHADOWHUNTERS, PERCY JACKSON, HARRY POTTER and GAME OF THRONES—and Cat's in-store author events continue to draw hundreds of adoring fans.

These voracious readers have long desired for Cat to bring her trademark thrilling action, dark fantasy, and diverse characters and themes to YA—and she's delivered. Cat's YA debut, DARK RISE, promises to be equally phenomenal.

DARK RISE is a fantasy trilogy for readers of classics like LORD OF THE RINGS and HIS DARK MATERIALS, and YA dark fantasy romance like THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS and THRONE OF GLASS. The series will have the same intense character relationships and powerful themes as CAPTIVE PRINCE—and we believe it can capture an even wider audience.
