    C. S. Pacat is an Australian author best known for the Captive Prince trilogy, published by Penguin Random House in 2015.[3] The fantasy series centres around a romance between two princes of rival countries.

    Pacat was born in Melbourne, Australia, and was educated at the University of Melbourne. She lived in several different cities including Perugia where she studied at Perugia University, and Tokyo, where she lived for five years. Pacat wrote the Captive Prince trilogy around his day job as a translator while training as a geologist.

    Literary career

    Pacat's first novel Captive Prince began as an online serial fiction on LiveJournal, where it garnered viral attention. Self-published in February 2013, Captive Prince was then acquired by Penguin Random House, and published commercially in April 2015 in multiple territories. The sequel Prince's Gambit was released in July 2015, and the final novel in the trilogy Kings Rising was released in February 2016.[4][3]

    In 2017 he revealed that he was working on a new comic series Fence, about the world of fencing.[5][6] The series has since been expanded to include a series of novels by Sarah Rees Brennan[7] and was nominated for a GLAAD award in 2019.[8]

    In 2019 she announced a new trilogy, DARK RISE, a YA fantasy novel series to be released in 2021.
