Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author of the Empire of the Vampire and Empire of the Damned, Jay Kristoff, comes the epic conclusion to the #1 internationally bestselling series.

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

Gabriel de León has lost his family, his faith, and his last hope of ending the endless night—the Holy Grail, Dior. With no desire left but vengeance, he and a band of loyal brothers journey into the war-torn heart of the Augustin Empire to claim the life of the Forever King.

Unbeknownst to the Last Silversaint, the Grail still lives—speeding towards Augustin’s besieged capital in the frail hope of ending Daysdeath forever. But deadly treachery awaits within the halls of power, and the Forever King’s legions march ever closer. Gabriel and Dior will be drawn into a final battle that will shape the very fate of the Empire, but as the sun sets for what may be the last time, there will be no-one left for them to trust.

Not even each other.

"Earphones Award-winning narrator, Damian Lynch...draws us into the opening pages and introduces us to some of the most unapologetically vicious characters you can’t help but fall in love with." —The Nerd Daily on Empire of the Vampire

"Narrator Damian Lynch’s depiction of the sword is especially creepy and compelling. Lynch has a great sense of dialogue and pitch overall, and keeps this dramatic tale moving." —Locus magazine on Empire of the Vampire

Before reading: Don't let the title fool you, all your favourite characters will die in this finale.

Goodreads review by Booksblabbering || Cait❣️ on November 09, 2025

Jay Kristoff likes to make us hurt. Worst betrayal by an author ever. Five stars. Non-spoiler series recommendation: Kristoff’s writing is heart-wrenching description and evocative. You know that terror you get when you trip or drop on a rollercoaster? I got that reading this. A vampire series where t......more

Goodreads review by Isabelle on November 13, 2025

I genuinely don’t know whether to applaud Mister Kristoff for the balls it took to pull off that ending, or scream into the void. 😅 This man is an evil genius. I don’t know if I liked the ending or hated it, but what an incredible journey! Huge thanks to St Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the advan......more
