DescriptionThe epic saga continues in Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff, the highly anticipated follow-up to the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling Empire of the Vampire. This thrilling novel plunges readers back into a dark and fantastical world where Gabriel de León strives against impossible odds to save humanity from eternal darkness.
Haunted by his past and driven by a relentless quest, Gabriel has managed to save the Holy Grail from the clutches of death. However, the elusive chance to end the unyielding night known as Daysdeath slips through his fingers. Isolated and betrayed, he severs ties with his silversaint brothers, undertaking a perilous journey alongside the Grail to uncover the true method to restore daylight to the world.
Gabriel's path is fraught with danger, as he is hunted by the children of the Forever King and ensnared in ancient wars and intricate webs of deceit woven over centuries. His formidable enemies are not his only concern; Gabriel wrestles with his own burgeoning bloodlust, threatening his mission and his very existence. As the last silversaint, his resolve is tested beyond measure, and the truth of the Grail, if he can uncover it, may unravel everything he holds dear.
Critics are raving about Jay Kristoff's mastery in crafting a compelling narrative. V.E. Schwab hails the book as 'bloody brilliant', while Joe Abercrombie describes it as 'a ripping read'. This spellbinding continuation of Gabriel's journey is bound to captivate fans and newcomers alike, ensnaring them in a richly woven tale of heroism, sacrifice, and the darkness that lies within.
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure as Gabriel confronts the horrors lurking in the shadows and seeks a revelation that could be too terrible to fathom. Empire of the Damned is a masterpiece of gothic fantasy that pushes the boundaries of the genre, delivering relentless action and heart-wrenching emotion on every page.
