In this stunning new fantasy novel from international best-selling author C. S. Pacat, heroes and villains of a long-forgotten war are reborn and begin to draw new battle lines. This epic fantasy with high-stakes romance will sit perfectly on shelves next to beloved fantasy novels like the Infernal Devices series, the Shadow and Bone trilogy, and the Red Queen series.
Sixteen-year-old dock boy Will is on the run, pursued by the men who killed his mother. Then an old servant tells him of his destiny to fight beside the Stewards, who have sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever returns. Will is thrust into a world of magic, where he starts training for a vital role in the oncoming battle against the Dark.
As London is threatened and old enmities are awakened, Will must stand with the last heroes of the Light to prevent the fate that destroyed their world from returning to destroy his own.
Like V.E. Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magic and Shelby Mahurin’s Serpent & Dove, Dark Rise is more than just high intrigue fantasy - it’s fast-paced, action-packed, and completely surprising. Listeners will love exploring the rich setting of 19th-century London. This thrilling story of friendship, deception, loyalty, and betrayal is sure to find a passionate audience of listeners.

Literally woke up several times, dark rise firmly on my mind
It was just ——- just. so. Fuxkibg. good.
Reading it reminded me of reading games of thrones in high school or all the fantasy books when the odds are insurmountable and absolutely crushing and yet
And the whole
m a s t e r p i e c e
Pacat is so fuxkibg good, there’s no way around it. The world building and legends, lore - you can tell she spent years researching and building, carefully, precisely,
So that each tiny piece irrevocably falls into place perfectly at the end
i CAN’T wait until you the rest. I don’t even know how it’s going to go, and that’s the best thing about a excellent book - when you can’t predict what will happen.
And I can’t.
Can’t get it out of my head, the excellence

A warning: this book lures you into a false sense of security until it hits you plainly in the throat with feelings (= pain, pain and more pain). Honourable mention to Christian Coulson for his professionalism because I would've stopped narrating the audiobook and eaten my mic. I'm still so angry at how good this book is. I love it and I wanted to love it and I love it even more now than I thought I ever would. Everything is unfair, C.S. Pacat is an evil genius and I swear my hands were trembling when I reached the last page. What a way to start a series.
"Dark Rise" is a light historical fantasy set in an 1800s London filled with ancient warriors, heroes and villains, friendship (the kind with the unwavering faith between each other), magical artifacts and the classic light vs. dark concept. The writing style is elegant and the rhythm slow but steady paced in the beginning and the middle. And then the last part defies everything you thought you knew, the plot thickens to infinity and beyond and you are left screaming and panicking until you basically overdose on all the reveals and the ending happens and you've survived but now you need the next installment with the utmost urgency.
A punch in the throat
