Empire of the Vampire
by Jay Kristoff
Our rating
Spice: moderate. Darkness: extremely dark.
The sun hasn't risen in 27 years and vampires rule. Gabriel de León, the last silversaint, tells his life story to a vampire historian the night before his execution. Huge, swaggering and very gory. Kristoff's style is a lot, in the best way if it works for you.
