From the Sunday Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Nevernight Chronicle, comes this masterful new series. Featuring the darkly beautiful illustrations of Bon Orthwick (@monolimeart). ' This book is bloody brilliant' - V. E Schwab, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise. For nearly three decades, vampires have waged war against humanity; building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Now, only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness. Gabriel de Leon, half man, half monster and last remaining silversaint - a sworn brother of the holy Silver Order dedicated to defending the realm from the creatures of the night - is all that stands between the world and its end. Now imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story. A story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity' s last remaining hope: The Holy Grail.

' A gothic bloodbath that will leave any reader breathless. The story is a vast apocalyptic canvass, reminiscent of Justin Cronin' s THE PASSAGE or even Stephen King' s THE STAND, yet Kristoff' s work stands on its own ruthless merit as the opening gambit of a richer tale yet to unfold. I can' t wait to return again to this rich, lush, and bloody world. Until then, read this book now!' - James Rollins, No. 1 NEW YORK TIMES author of THE LAST ODYSSEY and THE STARLESS CROWN' A fine crafted tale, the pieces as meticulously interlocked as fine woodwork. A chilling new take on vampire lore and those who must battle that darkness. EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE looks fearlessly at how ruthless Good must become when confronted with unrelenting Evil' - Robin Hobb, SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author' Brilliant and unputdownable, with tenderness and light bound into the bitter dark of a grim and fascinating world' - Laini Taylor, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of STRANGE THE DREAMER' This book is bloody brilliant' - V. E Schwab, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUEPraise for The Nevernight Chronicle:' If you love Robin Hobb or George R. R. Martin, you will adore NEVERNIGHT' - STARBURST' With a delicate balance of the ancient and the magical, this tense and brutal tale is unflinching, thrilling and satisfying' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY' Joins lyrical high fantasy, Pratchett-like humour and unflinching descriptions of violence . . . something special' - SCIFI NOW
