There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool is a debut fantasy series that has been compared to Six of Crows and I couldn’t be more excited for it. I am in need of a new fantasy series to get pumped up about and I have a feeling that this is going to be it. I am intrigued by these 5 characters already. So looking forward to finding out how things will unfold.
There WIll Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
Title: There Will Come a DarknessAuthor: Katy Rose Pool
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult
Publisher: Henry Holt & Co.
Publication Date: September 3, 2019
The Age of Darkness approaches.
Five lives stand in its way.
Who will stop it... or unleash it?For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations―until the day, one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared.
All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world’s salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As chaos takes hold, five souls are set on a collision course:
A prince exiled from his kingdom.
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart.
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.One of them―or all of them―could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer?
Book QUotes: There WIll Come A Darkness
Those who cannot own their choices will always be mastered by fate.
You may not be the chosen Prophet, but you are still the one I chose.
