little used fantasy trope i love: when two people are playing cards in a shady bar and it's the tense moment where they show their hand but it's a fantasy so they can't say things like "full house" or "royal flush" so they same some nonsense like "three crowns and a dead crow" and the crowd is like "oooOOHH" so we know that's good
this cannot be a direct call out of There Will Come a Darkness but at the same time........itās a direct call out of There Will Come a Darkness
Iām elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folkloreās sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. Itās called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldnāt stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. Iāve never done this before. In the past Iāve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. Weāve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time aroundā¦

just got a fucking email from kickstarter saying "we reviewed your report and found that the content does not violate our community guidelines or terms of service" type emails and it was about one of those ~pick-up artist~ guides that instructs one to literally just physically pick up and sexually assault women.
i reported it in 2013.
i got this email 3 weeks ago.
WAIT i got the same email about the exact same kickstarter project
Merry Christmas.

Hi!! I really enjoyed There Will Come a Darkness! I was wondering- are there any songs that you associate with certain characters?? Totally not thinking of a few playlists~ Thanks! šš
I mostly listen to lyric-less music when I write and I gotta be honest I basically listen to the same artists I listened to a decade ago because Iām boring. But I can tell you the album Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens and in particular the titular song definitely inspired this series somewhat (itās a weird album, just a heads up!) That said, if there are any songs YOU think go with the characters, I always love discovering new music!
If anyone cares, Iāve always imagined Safe & Sound by (please donāt laugh) Taylor Swift as a kind of theme song for Jude and Anton
My favorite TWCAD song is āNo Light, No Lightā by Florence and the Machine because it is both a darkness joke and a perfect Hassan song
I love all of these suggestions!
Okay, first of all, Iām a HUGE fan, but I wonāt go into detail about that right now since Iām supposed to be asking a question. Here it is: while writing There Will Come A Darkness, did you create Anton and Judeās characters planning for them to be together later on, or did you make that decision after you knew quite a bit about their characters already? Additionally, what made you think their contrasting personalities would fit well together? I understand if you donāt answer - thank you!
Yes, I knew very early on what the trajectory of their character arcs would be and that they would play a huge role in one anotherās growth. Which, to me, is the cornerstone of writing a satisfying romance! Their specific dynamic and the contrasts in their personalities kind of developed as I wrote them together and was able to understand exactly how these two people with VERY different life experiences would interact--and that was a great source of fun for me in those initial drafts of TWCAD (and beyond!)
Hello! I just finished "There Will Come A Darkness" (I'm now waiting for the second book's translation) and I'm completely blown away! Your characters are incredible. My favorite part about them was how they actually fail to accomplish their task sometimes - that they make mistakes and have to pay for them. My favorite main character was Anton, but I loved the other four as well! Will they all survive? Wait, don't answer that. Just wanted to gush a bit <3
Thank you so much! I do love writing characters who fail a whole lot...
please... i just finished twcad... i need a palette cleanser. can i ask what āthe beach episodeā would be like?
wait for book 3 and youāll see...Ā

Blackout poetry from There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
It was something rare

Selfish
And enough
Anton: this was a 100% successful trip.
Ephyra: we lost Illya!

Hi! I'd just like to say first that I LOVE your books and the worldbuilding is just,,, breathtaking. This also means that I inevitably have way too many questions about lore. Since I'm trans, I have a lot of questions about trans people in the Six Prophetic Cities. My biggest question is if names (the ones tied to your esha) can change. Of course, this could also pertain to non-trans people- if someone goes through trauma or a revelation, can this change the way their name and esha interact?
Thank you! And yes, this is something I thought about when writing TWCAD...yourĀ ātrue nameā that a scryer uses to find you is not necessarily your birth name or the name your parents give you. Itās the name that is truest to YOU. So even if everyone calls you one thing, if YOU donāt feel that is your name, it wonāt work. And it can definitely change over time.
None of this is ever explicitly stated in the text, but basically when you are born, you have a Name Day where an acolyte performs a ceremony that ābindsā your name to your esha. Itās not uncommon to have a second Name Day later in life, if your name changes -- this could be bc of marriage, your gender identity, or any number of reasons (maybe you donāt identify with your birth family anymore). The Name Day is purely ceremonial though, so if you donāt go through with a second Name Day, your name can change based on the name that YOU feel is right.
hey!! just finished rereading there will come a darkness and then immediately read as the shadow rises and lemme just say... mwah love it thank u. i canNOT wait for book 3... also i was wondering how old everyone is? if u donāt mind me asking? itās 4 in the morning right now and i struggle to keep track of things like that ahahshhd
I get this question with surprising frequency, I think because everything that indicates their ages is not entirely straight forward?
At the beginning of TWCAD their ages are:
Jude - has just turned 19 (heās just returned from his Year of Reflection which starts when he turns 18)
Hector - 18 (heās a little younger than Jude, which we know because the Paladin get to learn the final prophecy when they turn 18...Hector learned about it at some point AFTER Jude left for the YoR)
Ephyra - 18Ā
Beru - 16
Anton: 16, about to turn 17
Hassan: 16, about to turn 17
Illya: 19?? I need to check on this one but I think heās 3 yrs older than Anton
Khepri: 17
Penrose: sheās probably like....30??
