Hi! I'm such a fan. I was wondering some things about the Darkling. Will we ever find out the name he gave up? What inspired his character? If he survived (which I think he will) are we going to see more sides to him? I feel like we've just scratched the s

Thank you so much for writing! I’m glad you enjoyed Shadow and Bone.

Yes, by trilogy’s end, you will learn the Darkling’s true name and a lot more about him. He was inspired by every goblin king, dark wizard, and troublesome gent I ever fell for (usually harder than for the hero).

Teasers… not sure when I’ll get to share, but I hope it will be soon. I try not to blab spoilers, but ooooh, it’s tempting. For now, there are a few clues on my Siege and Storm pinterest board.
