Synopsis

This audiobook includes a bonus conversation between the author and actor/director Joseph Morgan (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Halo).

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff, comes the much-anticipated sequel to the #1 international bestselling sensation EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE.

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

Gabriel de León has saved the Holy Grail from death, but his chance to end the endless night is lost. Drawn into an uneasy alliance with the mysterious vampire Liathe, Gabriel must now deliver the Grail to ancients of the Blood Esani, and learn the truth of how Daysdeath might be finally undone.

But the Last Silversaint faces peril, within and without. Pursued by terrors of the Blood Voss, drawn into warfare between the Blood Dyvok and duskdancers of the frozen Highlands, and ravaged by his own rising bloodlust, Gabriel may not survive to see the Grail learn her truth.

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

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Goodreads review by Anne on December 21, 2024

Much better than the first book. I thought Empire of the Vampire was too drawn out in that the action didn't move with the enormous page count. But this book (while still quite hefty) had much better pacing, imho. The only downside (for me) is all the tedious sex scenes that I had to skim. Now, I rea......more

For anyone who read my review they'll know I was completely in love, borderline obsession, with this bloody, brutal and spectac......more

Goodreads review by Greta on March 24, 2024

My dude, if the first book is this long (I'm half way through exactly and have been at it literally all day), then how chucky will the trilogy be?! I'm going to get them as ebooks because the weight of physical copies will absolutely break my bookshelf. Have you considered not writing a trilogy? Spi......more
