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.
