Gabriel de León, the last Silversaint, continues his journey to end the eternal night. A dark and gritty tale of vampires, faith, and political intrigue.
Released in 2024, this is the perfect pick for listeners who want "The Witcher" vibes but darker. It uses an interview format (like Interview with the Vampire) which works exceptionally well in audio. Kristoff writes with a cinematic flair that feels made for audio. Warning: it is gritty and violent, but the 30-hour run time flies by. Don't dive in at book 2 in the series though. Pick up <a href="https://www.thelongbookclub.com/book/empire-of-the-vampire-jay-kristoff/">Empire of the Vampire</a> for part one. And in November 2025 the third Instalment <a href="https://www.thelongbookclub.com/book/empire-of-the-dawn-jay-kristoff/">Empire of the Dawn</a> was released. Equally epic books and an additional 34 hours of listening. That's a jaw dropping 93+ hours of entertainment in total! Incredible value for money.
