What this book is about
Gabriel de León is the last of the silvered — human-vampire hybrids trained to hunt the undead. Captured, he tells his story to a vampire historian: the story of the war, the love, and the failures that brought humanity to the edge of extinction. Kristoff's illustrated epic is breathtaking in scope and extreme in its violence and darkness.
