We Have the Cover of Empire of the Vampire #1!!!!

Well, I meant to post this days ago, but I kept forgetting, so I'm going to do that now, because I want to talk about it! But we have the cover of Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff, and it's fantastic! 

From Goodreads:

“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.”

Twenty-seven years have passed since the last sunrise, and for almost three decades, the creatures of the night have walked the day without fear. Once, humanity fought bravely against the coldblood legions, but now, we exist only in a few scattered settlements—tiny sparks of light in a growing sea of darkness.

Gabriel de León is the last of the Silversaints, a holy order dedicated to defending realm and church, now utterly destroyed. Imprisoned for the murder of the vampiric king, Gabriel is charged with telling the story of his life.

His tale spans years, from his youth in the monastery of San Michon, to the forbidden love that spelled his undoing, and the betrayal that saw his order annihilated. Most importantly, Gabriel will tell the story of the Grail—the legendary cup prophesied to bring an end to the eternal night, whose location is known to a single person: A smart-mouthed teenage urchin named Dior.

Their journey with a band of unlikely allies would see Dior and Gabriel forge an unbreakable bond, and set the broken paragon on a road to redemption.

But now, the Grail is shattered. And with the cup of the Redeemer destroyed and the last Silversaint awaiting execution, what can bring an end to this undying empire?

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff, comes the first illustrated volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga.

Yeah, this cover is dark and compelling, and I love all the details, it looks fantastic, and I'm so excited to read it! Though Goodreads has be a little confused, as to if this is the US/Canadian cover, because it does have this for the Harper Voyager/UK cover, and then St. Martin's having a placeholder, so yeah, I think this is the cover for the whole world, but I'm not sure. I'm just so excited to read this book! What about you guys? Happy reading!
