Empire of the Vampire: Book One

Empire of the Vampire is the first illustrated volume of a dark fantasy saga by Jay Kristoff. The story is set twenty-seven years after the last sunrise, during which vampires have waged war against humanity and built an empire while destroying human civilization. Only scattered pockets of light remain. Gabriel de León is a silversaint, a member of a holy brotherhood sworn to protect the realm and church from creatures of the night. When daylight ceased, the Silver Order could not hold back the vampire forces, and Gabriel is now the last of his kind. Imprisoned by the monsters he dedicated his life to fighting, Gabriel is forced to recount his past. His story encompasses legendary battles, forbidden love, lost faith, gained friendships, the Wars of the Blood, the Forever King, and the search for humanity's final hope: the Holy Grail.
