  • The poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe is part of the basis for The Dark Artifices.[1] The chapter titles from all three installments are all derived from Poe's works.
  • The series title, "The Dark Artifices", was taken from "The Annals of Imperial Rome," a historical work written by Tacitus.[2] Within the series, "the Dark Artifices" refers to the Black Volume of the Dead.[3]
  • Ariadne Blackthorn, who was part of the original set of announced characters in the series, was written off during the writing of City of Heavenly Fire.[4]
  • While the plan during the early stages of the book's development was to set the series in 2012,[5][6] Cassie shared that she was moving the setting to 2013,[7] before the final published version revealed that it was moved back to 2012.
