Описание: ⚔️ Dark Rise - C.S. Pacat | Book 1 of the Dark Rise Series ⚔️
From the internationally bestselling author of the Captive Prince trilogy comes a stunning new fantasy epic.
The ancient world of magic is no more.
Its heroes are dead. Its halls lie in ruins. Its great battles between Light and Dark are forgotten legends. Only the Stewards remember, keeping their centuries-long vigil, sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever returns.
Sixteen-year-old dock boy Will is on the run, pursued by the men who killed his mother. When an old servant reveals his destiny to fight beside the Stewards, Will is ushered into a hidden world of magic where he must train to play a vital role in the oncoming battle against the Dark.
As London is threatened by the Dark King's return, the reborn heroes and villains of a long-forgotten war begin to draw battle lines. But as the young descendants of Light and Dark step into their destined roles, old allegiances, old enmities, and old flames are awakened.
Will must stand with the last heroes of the Light to prevent the fate that destroyed their ancient world from returning to destroy his own.
