Empire of the Vampire

Twenty-seven years ago the sun set for the last time. Vampires have built an eternal empire in the darkness, and only a few sparks of human resistance remain. Gabriel de León, the last of the Silver Order—a brotherhood devoted to destroying creatures of the night—is imprisoned by the Forever King and ordered to narrate the history of his own failures to a vampire historian. His story moves between present captivity and a past of legendary battles, forbidden love, and the quest for the Holy Grail.

Gabriel de León is a half-vampire silversaint whose brilliant past has curdled into self-destruction—sardonic, tattooed, often drunk, and capable of breathtaking violence. Beneath the wreckage is a man of genuine faith and loyalty whose arc is as much about reclaiming purpose as defeating monsters. Reviewers consistently rank him among the great dark fantasy protagonists.

Across three massive illustrated volumes, Gabriel's narrative moves from his origin as a silversaint through uneasy alliances with vampires, the search for the truth behind Daysdeath, and a final war at the heart of the Augustin Empire where he and the Grail—a young woman named Dior—must decide whether to trust each other when every other option has collapsed. The series is richly illustrated and concludes in a third volume that resolves both the Grail quest and Gabriel's personal arc.
