Empire of the Damned

Praise for EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE

'A ripping read - dark as black coffee and savage as a slit throat'

Joe Abercrombie, bestselling author of the First Law trilogy

'A gothic bloodbath that will leave any reader breathless. The story is a vast apocalyptic canvas, reminiscent of Justin Cronin's THE PASSAGE or even Stephen King's THE STAND, yet Kristoff's work stands on its own ruthless merit as the opening gambit of a richer tale yet to unfold. I can't wait to return again to this rich, lush, and bloody world. Until then, read this book now!'

James Rollins, no. 1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE LAST ODYSSEY and THE STARLESS CROWN

'A wonderfully crafted tale, the pieces as meticulously interlocked as fine woodwork. A chilling new take on vampire lore and those who must battle that darkness. EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE looks fearlessly at how ruthless Good must become when confronted with unrelenting Evil'

Robin Hobb, SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE

'Brilliant and unputdownable, with tenderness and light bound into the bitter dark of a grim and fascinating world'

Laini Taylor, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of STRANGE THE DREAMER

'This book is bloody brilliant'

V. E. Schwab, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE
