Description

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

From New York Times bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes Empire of the Vampire, the first illustrated volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga.

From holy cup comes holy light;
The faithful hand sets world aright.
And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight,
Mere man shall end this endless night.


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 León is a silversaint: a member of a holy brotherhood dedicated to defending realm and church from the creatures of the night. But even the Silver Order could not stem the tide once daylight failed us, and now, only Gabriel remains.

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.

    Interview with a Vampire in a nutshell. Messy with concept of Faith/Beliefs. A lot of misogynistic text. Author favors detailed scenes of female death and focuses on beautiful pubescent looking characters. It was a struggle and I never found a moment of enjoyment reading it. I dont understand why someone would give this a good review.
  • Faith (not my name btw)

    My actual faith has been tested all my life with the Almighty sometimes and I was thinking “Am I the only one?”. And when I finally had the courage to read such a wonderfully long story I felt like the Lord himself sent me to get the book from the library 📚 I just felt what Gabriel went through in his teen years asking myself “What am I ?” “Who am I ?” Why am I hear if I was/am a sin of this Godly earth Aaron might have been a jerk to Gabe but they came together in the most beautiful way…. First off Gabe saved Aaron’s cousins life and then Gabe kept Aaron’s “meetings”with the blacksmith a secret. Also what Aaron went through as a teen? Horrible!! 1.Step father a drunk punk 2.Step father beat his girlfriend to death 💀 (RIP)and Aaron half to death because she was poor and he, a noble son. And then he gets sent to San Michan to be a Silver Saint and even though he couldn’t marry and have kids (for fear of making more abominations-blood thirsty vampires- like them for the most part) he found love and I think God should be able to look the other way for it, because he served faithfully his entire life in the Silver Order. Even though Master Greyhand couldn’t approve of them, because of I am quite sure he was happy someone was able to find to 💕

    Utter masterpiece. A brilliant book about faith and love and how to regain your faith after losing it. About life and friendship and making a family of your own choosing. I love Jay’s writing and I’ve loved all of his books but there was just something about this one that I can’t quite put into words that just resonated with my soul. Please read this book, give it a chance and you will see. It’s so much more than “just a vampire book”.
