We could not be more excited to welcome Jay to the store! He'll be talking with Richmond's own Randy Blythe about his newest release!
About the Book:
From New York Times bestselling author of the Empire of the Vampire and Empire of the Damned, Jay Kristoff, comes the epic conclusion to the #1 internationally bestselling series.
From holy cup comes holy light;
The faithful hand sets world aright.
And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight,
Mere man shall end this endless night.
Gabriel de León has lost his family, his faith, and his last hope of ending the endless night—the Holy Grail, Dior. With no desire left but vengeance, he and a band of loyal brothers journey into the war-torn heart of the Augustin Empire to claim the life of the Forever King.
Unbeknownst to the Last Silversaint, the Grail still lives—speeding towards Augustin’s besieged capital in the frail hope of ending Daysdeath forever. But deadly treachery awaits within the halls of power, and the Forever King’s legions march ever closer. Gabriel and Dior will be drawn into a final battle that will shape the very fate of the Empire, but as the sun sets for what may be the last time, there will be no-one left for them to trust.
Not even each other.

About the Authors:
JAY KRISTOFF is a #1 international, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of fantasy and science fiction, including Empire of the Vampire. He is the winner of eight Aurealis Awards, an ABIA, has over half a million books in print and is published in over thirty five countries, most of which he has never visited. He is as surprised about all of this as you are. He is 6’7 and has approximately 11,500 days to live.
He does not believe in happy endings.
D. Randall Blythe is the two-time bestselling author of Dark Days and Just Beyond the Light, as well as the singer of the five-time Grammy nominated (and losing) heavy metal band, lamb of god. Blythe is also an internationally exhibited Leica Camera USA photographer, and a truly terrible actor who has appeared in various horror films and the TV series Paradise City. When he's not touring with his band or hunched over his desk writing, you can find him surfing wherever the waves are decent or hanging out with his cat, Dracula. He loves coffee and hates fascists.
