Jay Kristoff: Empire of the Dawn

  • Talk
  • Events

Return to the bloodthirsty world of Empire of the Vampire, as Jay Kristoff unveils the epic conclusion to his bestselling dark fantasy series.

Empire of the Dawn is a story of vampires and heroes, of love and sorrow, of friendship and loss, of joy and devastation. It is a story of death and darkness – and, like all stories, it must come to an end…

In the final book in the Empire of the Vampire series, Gabriel de León has lost his family, his faith and his last hope of ending the endless night. With no desire left but vengeance, he journeys into the war-torn heart of the Augustin Empire to claim the life of the Forever King. As deadly treachery awaits within the halls of power and the King’s legions march ever closer, Gabriel will be drawn into a final battle that will shape the very fate of the Empire.

Join Jay Kristoff as he discusses writing flawed characters, worldbuilding and the pleasures of making vampires evil again in the conclusion to this epic trilogy.
