Empire of the Dawn (Empire of the Vampire, Book 3)

By: Jay Kristoff

Narrated by: Damian Lynch, Shakira Shute

From holy cup comes holy light;

The faithful hands 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.

From Sunday Times bestselling author of The Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff, comes the epic conclusion to the #1 internationally bestselling series.

Critic reviews

Praise for Empire of the Vampire:

'This book is bloody brilliant'
— V.E Schwab, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE

It might not be perfect, it’s is for me!!!

I fell in love with this characters since the beginning and want them to come on top at the end. I was afraid the ending would not satisfy me, and it did!
Well, ok. Is it perfectly written and executed? No, it’s not. There’s a lot of melodrama, even acknowledged by the characters! 🤣 Not always has a perfect sense, but if you love the characters, you can forgive those “little sins” from the author. The thing with melodrama and tears is that you need a sweet ending, or some “conveniences” that not always made much sense. But, I, humbly, think are necessary to meet the expectations built.

All in all, it’s a beautiful and satisfying ending to this amazing journey. A true Vampire story, dark, bloody, scary and beautiful!

exactly what I expected

I just love the story. unique, intriguing, rough. a good continuation of the story
