About this listen
* Instant New York Times Bestseller * Indie Bestseller *
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.

Story
Since time immemorial the warriors of the Paladin Order have harnessed arcane powers to protect their rulers. For Balen, who has given up his chance at love and fought his way to the top of the Paladin Order, there can be no greater honor than to serve his king. But when assassins annihilate the royal family, Balen suddenly finds himself sworn to serve the very man he abandoned. Now with their nation threatened by enemies both within and outside the kingdom, Balen must fight hidden traitors and unnatural assassins, while also contending with the biting wit and dangerous charm of King Zavrius.

Story
When Phoebe, goddess of the moon, is killed by the knights of the sun god, Hyperion, all who follow her are branded heretics. With Phoebe gone, the souls of the dead are no longer ferried to the underworld, and instead linger on as shades who feast on the blood of the living. Raef is a child of the night. He lives in the shadows, on scraps, eking out a meager existence as a thief. But when an ornate box is sequestered in the Temple of Hyperion, the chance of a big score proves too great to resist. What he finds within propels him on an odyssey across the sea and back again.

Without an academic endorsement to make him valuable to the high fey, Saffron will be sent back through the veil to the human world. The place he was traded from as a changeling-baby, and a place he is terrified of. And while getting an endorsement shouldn't be impossible, it's hindered by the fact his literacy is self-taught, using books stolen off of Morrígan Academy's campus of high fey students.

Story
The weight of the legacy I carry is a constant tug in my mind, with the ghosts of the generations before me always whispering for me to push harder, train longer, be better. In the eight seconds I have to ride, everything else falls away, and my sole focus is on doing what I do best. I am Shooter Graham, consecutive three-time world champion bronc rider. No one has ever come close to taking the title since I've had it… until him. Sterling Addams. The new cowboy in town with dark hair, eyes like honey, and a taste for me he likes to pretend he doesn't have.

He lives in the shadows, on scraps, eking out a meager existence as a thief. But when an ornate box is sequestered in the Temple of Hyperion, the chance of a big score proves too great to resist.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don’t earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again. That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable.

I love the duality of the story which leaves the reader questioning everything.
The dark king is either a menace from the past or the savior of the present. Or is he? Every time we get a handle on what's going on, the author hints at the opposite conclusion. Can't wait for the finish.

I'm so glad this isn't the last book!
I ended this book with such frustration because I didn't know it was part of a trilogy. I saw there were only 2 books in the series to purchase on here and thought this would be a great next read because I fell in love with Pacat after listening to The Captive Prince series! However, this book ended and I was left NEEDING so much more! I'm happy I came to read the reviews to learn there's another book coming. I cannot wait to read it. I NEED it! This story and narration are so captivating and provide such an escape, it becomes easy to get lost in the tale, the landscape, the characters and the vocal presentation of it all!

Favorite book of 2023
Everything about this is stunning. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
No one does it like C.S. Pacat.

Incredible Narrator, Incredible story.
So many twists and turns.... most books have a similar story line that you can kind of guess at... not this one.

Better than Dark Rise!
Slow in the middle but purposeful. I love Pacat’s writing. She has a talent for conveying small gestures with big meaning and incremental slow seduction. It is a patient thing, one you aren’t aware that you are holding your breath for. But the romance isn’t really the driving force of the story, it’s a small part of it and important. However, if you took out the attraction of Will and James, the story still works. This is different than The Captive Prince trilogy (one of my favorite series). Towards the end of Dark Rise, I could predict the outcome, but found myself riveted anyway. I was able to listen via audiobook and the narrator was fantastic. I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment and will be rereading this again.
