A story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope: Imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story. But even the Silver Order could not stem the tide once daylight failed us, and now, only Gabriel remains. Gabriel de León is a silversaint: a member of a holy brotherhood dedicated to defending realm and church from the creatures of the night. Now, only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness. For nearly three decades, vampires have waged war against humanity building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise. Like recent epic tomes from Patrick Rothfuss ( The Name of the Wind) and Christopher Ruocchio ( Empire of Silence), Empire of the Vampire centers on an infamous character who recounts his life story, years removed from the events that gave the character their reputation. Moreover, the world can most definitely be seen as Post-Apocalyptic since a world-changing event in the past has broken humanity and left the world rather desolate. The novel has some elements of Fantasy and even Post-Apocalyptic fiction, in terms of world-building, but the dark tone and subject matter can easily slot this in horror. Add to this list Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. McCammon, IT by Stephen King, Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons, the Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witch novels from Anne Rice, to name the most well-known. Horror, on the other hand, tends to the shorter tomes, but there are occasional Epic Horror novels… Swan Song by Robert R.
