Über diesen Titel
'This book is bloody brilliant'
V.E. Schwab
‘A ripping read’
Joe Abercrombie
The SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestseller from the award-winning author of the Nevernight Chronicle
It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise.
Ever since, vampires have waged war against humanity building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Gabriel de León, half man, half monster, and last remaining silversaint – a sworn brother of the holy Silver Order dedicated to defending the realm from the creatures of the night – is all that stands between the world and its end.
Imprisoned by the very monsters he has vowed to destroy Gabriel is forced to tell his story – a story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the War of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope:
The Holy Grail.
©2021 Jay Kristoff (P)2021 HarperCollins Publishers LimitedKritikerstimmen
‘A gothic bloodbath that will leave any reader breathless. The story is a vast apocalyptic canvass, reminiscent of Justin Cronin’s THE PASSAGE or even Stephen King’s THE STAND, yet Kristoff’s work stands on its own ruthless merit as the opening gambit of a richer tale yet to unfold. I can’t wait to return again to this rich, lush, and bloody world. Until then, read this book now!’
— James Rollins, No.1 NEW YORK TIMES author of THE LAST ODYSSEY and THE STARLESS CROWN
‘A wonderfully crafted tale, the pieces as meticulously interlocked as fine woodwork. A chilling new take on vampire lore and those who must battle that darkness. EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE looks fearlessly at how ruthless Good must become when confronted with unrelenting Evil’
— Robin Hobb, SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author
'Brilliant and unputdownable, with tenderness and light bound into the bitter dark of a grim and fascinating world'
— Laini Taylor, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of STRANGE THE DREAMER
'This book is bloody brilliant'
— V.E Schwab, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE
The story itself is bloody, full of gore and foul language. And it is brilliant. I like the world Building and the Narration Style. If you don’t mind swear words and a little blood it’s the perfect book for you.
Typical Jay Kristoff

I have to give it to mister Kristoff. He is a one of a kind author.
True dark fantasy where vampires are what they are supposed to be. Evil, frightening.
Humorous, dark, witty and damn right brilliant.
Rarely do I Say this but this book has received way too Little attention.
Best read of the last 4-5 years.
Dark fantasy at it's Best.

The story is told by the main character, but instead of simply recounting past events, the narration jumps back and forth between two timelines. For some readers/listeners this might be off-throwing, but I liked the style since it kept me wondering what might have occurred in between.
The main character is developed quite well and you won't find the stereotypical good guy or hero here. The side characters contribute a lot as well and the vampires actually feel like a real threat for once, for what I am grateful.
Although there is romance in this book and I am usually not a fan of that, it could have been much worse.
The one thing that did bother me a little though was the swearing. More precisely the modern terms like the F word. For me it didn't really fit in. Huge props to the non modern curse words/insults though, Kristoff came up with some great and pretty creative ones which I found hilarious as well as impressive.
All in all I had a a great time with this story, felt properly entertained and emotionally invested.
Great story if you don't mind the f word
