DALLA PENNA DI JAY KRISTOFF NASCE UN'EPICA FANTASY OSCURA. Sono trascorsi ventisette lunghi anni dall'ultima alba. Per quasi tre decenni, i vampiri hanno combattuto contro l'umanità, costruendo il loro impero eterno mentre distruggono il nostro. Solo poche piccole scintille di luce resistono in un mare di oscurità. Gabriel de León è un silversaint: un membro di una sacra confraternita dedicata a difendere il regno e la chiesa dalle creature della notte. Ma nemmeno l'Ordine d'Argento è riuscito a fermare l'onda oscura quando la luce del giorno ci ha abbandonati, e ora rimane solo Gabriel. Imprigionato dai mostri che giurò di distruggere, l'ultimo silversaint è costretto a raccontare la sua storia. Una storia di battaglie leggendarie e amori proibiti, di fede perduta e amicizie conquistate, delle Guerre del Sangue e del Re Eterno e della ricerca dell'ultima speranza rimasta per l'umanità: il Sacro Graal.

"Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love-she's lived through it twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in secret. Because no matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can't stomach the idea of rejection. So she's careful. Fat girls always have to be careful. Then a cute new girl enters Cassie's orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly's cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly's totally not dying of loneliness-except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie's new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. Will is funny, flirtatious, and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And if Molly can win him over, she'll get her first kiss and she'll get her twin back. There's only one problem- Molly's coworker, Reid. He's an awkward Tolkien superfan, and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?"
