New novel Dark Heir- Out November 2023
I am thrilled to announce that the second book of the Dark Rise triology Dark Heir will be out on the 14th of November 2023.
In this riveting sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel Dark Rise, Will and his allies have survived the Dark's first assault, but at a terrible cost.
A new threat from the past is rising, and only a handful of heroes remain to fight. Pursued by dark forces, Will and his allies must leave the safety of the Hall and travel to the heart of the ancient world, making new and dangerous alliances, and revealing the shocking secrets of the past.
But Will is carrying a dark secret of his own--his true identity. Drawn to the beautiful and deadly James St. Clair, Will is pulled ever deeper into the web of the past, and finds himself tempted by the darkness within. As the ancient world threatens to return, can Will and his friends fight their fate? Or will the truths they learn tear their world apart?
Dark Heir is the explosive and highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling Dark Rise, from global phenomenon C. S. Pacat.
"I simply couldn't put it down." --V. E. Schwab, New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, on Dark Rise
"Beautiful, classical, and deliciously dark." --Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Vampire, on Dark Rise
"A story rendered with devastatingly brilliant detail. You won't be able to look away." --Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights, on Dark Rise

I'm teaming up with BOOM! Box comics and the amazing artist Johanna the Mad to write FENCE - the comic of my dreams!
FENCE follows 16-year-old outsider Nicholas Cox as he enters the world of competitive fencing at an elite boys school. There will be intense rivalries, lifelong friendships, exhilarating swordfights... and slow burn romance between teammates!
To make sure you get your copy of FENCE you will need to preorder by October 23rd.
HOW TO PREORDER FENCE
PREORDERING IN STORES

WHY PREORDER
Unlike books, comics have a preorder cutoff date, after which the print run is fixed. To make sure you get your copy of FENCE you will need to preorder by October 23rd.
Preordering is also a great way to support the series! FENCE is currently a 5-issue arc, but it will be extended to an ongoing series if the interest in the first issue is strong.
When you pre-order a comic like FENCE, you’re letting comic shops know you’re going to support it and more comics like it, which helps retailers place orders with confidence.
Then it goes even higher up the ladder! Comic publishers receive news on how comic shops are ordering their comics, and that will determine if the FENCE is promoted to an ongoing series.
In the comic market, one of the most effective ways to support the comic you love and the creators who make it is to preorder!
