C.S. Pacat has built a large catalog since 2013, with 66 titles spread across eight different series. The Captive Prince trilogy and its companion short stories came first and remain the work most readers associate with Pacat’s name. That series includes foreign-language editions in Spanish, French, and Polish, which gives some idea of how widely it traveled.
Beyond Captive Prince, Pacat has moved into comics and graphic novels. The Fence series ran for seven collected volumes between 2017 and 2025, with a spinoff called Fence Challengers starting in 2024. On the DC Comics side, Pacat wrote an extended Nightwing run from 2017 through 2024, producing over a dozen collected editions, and also created Dark Knights of Steel, a fantasy reimagining of the DC universe.
The Dark Rise series, which began in 2021, represents Pacat’s work in young adult fantasy novels. With projects ranging from romance to superhero comics to original fantasy, Pacat’s output covers a wide range of formats and audiences.
