James works for a man called Simon, who is fixated on bringing the Dark King back and unleashing darkness upon the world. Will is drawn into an ancient supernatural war between the forces of the dark, once ruled by the so-called Dark King, and light, defended by an order of white-clad knights known as the Stewards. We soon learn he is on the run after his mother was murdered in front of him three months ago. The boy is Will, 17 and working on a cargo ship on the Thames. There’s talk of a boy, who is still alive, much to the resentment of James. It’s 1821 London, and James and Marcus converse in the kind of densely allusive fantasy language that won’t make sense until later.

Marcus, a Steward, is being held in the bowels of a ship by the impossibly beautiful James, a classic blonde-haired Pacat character in the same vein as Laurent from Captive Prince. In perhaps a nod to the earlier trilogy, Dark Rise also begins with a scene of captivity. So it is interesting to watch Pacat now turn to young adult and tackle similar ideas but for a presumably younger audience (only presumably: half of all young adult readers are adults). Apart from being a lot of fun, the novels are also finely written and shot through with a surprising amount of darkness. Pacat’s blockbuster first trilogy of “ sexy homoerotic slave novels” begins with one of the protagonists bound and gagged in a dungeon.

But equally, I think as I've proven with this, I'm also a filmmaker with my own voice. I definitely have got stories that I feel like I could tell inside this universe. 'And I think from there it's like, let's see how audiences really react to it. My focus right now is finishing what's been an amazing promotional tour and whirlwind of getting to talk and share the process of making the movie and my opinions on it,' Cronin shared with about the franchise's future. 'I think everything's on the table at a point like this.
