“One of the most stunning debuts of the year.” -Seventeen <br>
<br>
The Age of Darkness approaches.<br>
Five lives stand in its way.<br>
Who will stop it . . . or unleash it? <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. With chaos on the horizon, five souls are set on a collision course:<br>
<br>
A prince exiled from his kingdom.<br>
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.<br>
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart. <br>
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.<br>
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.<br>
<br>
One of them-or all of them-could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer? Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and An Ember in the Ashes.<br>

“Even in a world filled with graces and prophets, the real magic of There Will Come a Darkness is in how Pool has crafted her heroes-messy, flawed, and so beguilingly human. I dare you not to fall madly in love with all of them.” -Laura Sebastian, New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess <br>

* “A well-crafted, surprising, and gripping start to a new trilogy.” -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review
