It Was One Kingdom, Once

The lack of smooth internet speed and wacky comp in this past few weeks were horrible haha, but thank heavens I can still draw *flops*

call down the hawk:

Here’s Pacat’s Dark Rise Q&A so far! Highlights:

Will has an awesome horse! All the horses in Dark Rise are awesome! But the real horse lover is James

James is like Laurent if he was Team Evil and could do magic

The protagonist is Will, but it’s told from several different POVs: Will, James, Violet, Catherine, and Devon

It’s a slowburn enemies to lovers romance! (emphasis on slowburn)

Will is bi! All of Pacat’s protagonists are bi, including Nicholas from Fence (bi Nick confirmed, yay!)

The book is very gay

There are no love triangles

Inspired by LOTR, but Dark Rise is more about the enemy within than the enemy without, and it explores grey areas in the battle between light and dark

Die Young by Sylvan Esso is the song of James and Will’s relationship

The books are racially diverse and also have diverse gender identities and sexual orientations

The demographic is YA with adult crossover

The ending will make us cry

The climax of book one is gonna make us scream

The character most like Laurent is James. Pacat doesn’t know who would win if they fought
