Description

The highly anticipated sequel to the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE

'Bloody brilliant'
V.E. Schwab

A ripping read
Joe Abercrombie
Gabriel de Len has saved the Holy Grail from death, but his chance to end the endless night is lost.

After turning his back on his silversaint brothers once and for all, Gabriel and the Grail set out to learn the truth of how Daysdeath might finally be undone.

But the last silversaint faces peril, within and without. Pursued by children of the Forever King, drawn into wars and webs centuries in the weaving, and ravaged by his own rising bloodlust, Gabriel may not survive to see the truth of the Grail revealed.

A truth that may be too awful for any to imagine.

Reviews

Praise for EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE

A ripping read dark as black coffee and savage as a slit throat
Joe Abercrombie, bestselling author of the First Law trilogy

A gothic bloodbath that will leave any reader breathless. The story is a vast apocalyptic canvas, reminiscent of Justin Cronins THE PASSAGE or even Stephen Kings THE STAND, yet Kristoffs work stands on its own ruthless merit as the opening gambit of a richer tale yet to unfold. I cant wait to return again to this rich, lush, and bloody world. Until then, read this book now!
James Rollins, no.1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE LAST ODYSSEY and THE STARLESS CROWN

A wonderfully 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 of THE ASSASSINS APPRENTICE

'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 LARUE
