"Long ago, there was a world of wonders - of what you and I might call magic"

In their new book, Dark Rise, C. S. Pacat brings readers a version of London far removed from our own. Magic has long since faded away, but there are remnants of power and ancient orders of good and evil who fight in secret to restore their version of that world.

In the Drawing Room, Pacat discusses their love for British pastoral fantasies and how they set out to include the people that were left out of the books that they read growing up.
