From holy cup comes holy light;
The faithful hands sets world aright.
And in the Seven Martyrs' sight,
Mere man shall end this endless night.

Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff is a gothic horror/dark fantasy novel set in a gritty world where the sun has not risen in thirty years and a vampire aristocracy wages war on what remains of humankind. Kristoff's worldbuilding is superb, complete with deep and engaging characters that make you both love and hate them. The suspenseful plot will keep you engaged and wanting to know more with every turn of the page. The best book I've read in a long time!
