📖 SCHEDA LIBRO: Empire of the vampire

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Buongiorno. 

Oggi per me è una bellissima giornata e niente, il mio mood è questo:  

Questo perché ho effettuato il pre-order per "La corte di ali e rovina" 

Oltre alla mia gioia, però, c'è un'altra news che vorrei condividere con voi e commentare. 

Stamane, Oscar Mondadori Vault ha diffuso in anteprima una delle loro prossime uscite. Verrà pubblicato ad ottobre 2020, di nuovo, forse, in contemporanea con l'uscita in lingua originale. E oserei dire pure: meno male!   

Empire of the vampire
by JAY KRISTOFF

Coming in 2020, a new illustrated dark fantasy epic from the New York Times bestselling author of the Nevernight Chronicle.

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 Michel, to the forbidden love that spelled his undoing, and the betrayal that saw his order annihilated. Most importantly, Gabriel will tell of his discovery of the Grail—the legendary cup prophesied to bring an end to the eternal night.

But the Grail was no simple chalice; it was 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 Savior destroyed and the last Silversaint awaiting execution, what can bring an end to this unholy empire?

Ritornano i miei vampiri 🧛🏻‍♂🧛🏻‍♀.

Uno dei miei primi amori. Fin da piccola, hanno attirato la mia attenzione, prima con Buffy (Angel, oh, Angel) poi tanti anni dopo con "Twilight", per poi proseguire con "Blood ties", "Angel" "Moonlight", "Finchè non cala il buio", la saga "Gardella Vampire Chronicle", "Il Diario del vampiro", "La cacciatrice della notte", "Il profumo del sangue" e via dicendo.... Sì, taglio corto.

Ok. Una notte lunga ventisette anni, quasi trenta. Con le creature della notte che si aggirano indisturbate per le strade.

humanity fought bravely against the coldblood legions

L'umanità ha combattuto...

We exist only in a few scattered settlements—tiny sparks of light in a growing sea of darkness.

E ha perso. 

Gabriel is charged with telling the story of his life.

A quanto pare questo libro avrà lo stesso stile particolare che contraddistingue l'autore. 

His tale spans years, from his youth in the monastery of San Michel, to the forbidden love that spelled his undoing, and the betrayal that saw his order annihilated. 

Tradimenti, amori, disperazione...

Grail—the legendary cup prophesied to bring an end to the eternal night.

Ma anche una speranza.

But the Grail was no simple chalice; it was 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.

Sotto forma di ragazz*. E qui c'è la nuova ship. 

Ok. Stop.

Vampiri 👋 al prossimo anno 😢
