Twenty-seven years have passed since the last sunrise, and for almost three decades, the creatures of the night have walked the day without fear. Once, humanity fought bravely against the coldblood legions, but now, we exist only in a few scattered settlements—tiny sparks of light in a growing sea of darkness.

Gabriel de León is the last of the Silversaints, a holy order dedicated to defending realm and church, now utterly destroyed. Imprisoned for the murder of the vampiric king, Gabriel is charged with telling the story of his life.

His tale spans years, from his youth in the monastery of San Michel, to the forbidden love that spelled his undoing, and the betrayal that saw his order annihilated. Most importantly, Gabriel will tell of his discovery of the Grail—the legendary cup prophesied to bring an end to the eternal night.

But the Grail was no simple chalice; it was a smart-mouthed teenage urchin named Dior. Their journey with a band of unlikely allies would see Dior and Gabriel forge an unbreakable bond, and set the broken paragon on a road to redemption.

But now, the Grail is shattered. And with the cup of the Savior destroyed and the last Silversaint awaiting execution, what can bring an end to this unholy empire?

Ask me not if God exist, but why he's such a prick.

O começo de uma nova história construída pelas mãos do nosso amado Jay Kristoff.
Aqui igualmente nas crônicas da quasinoite temos uma estória criada em volta de religião e Deus, "escola de assassinos" e romances proibidos, o que não é nada ruim kkkkk.
Uma leve inspiração nas crônicas do matador do rei eu diria, com o cronista escrevendo a história do nosso protagonista bad ass, gostoso e lindo, Gabriel De León.
Com um trabalho de desenvolvimento muito mais bem feito do que em as crônicas da quasinoite consigo perceber que com essa história Jay realmente quer deixar sua marca junto com os maiores livros de dark fantasy, e quem não gosta de vampiros que atire a primeira pedra kkkkk.
