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. —AUTHOR UNKNOWN

If you’re getting tired of vampire tales, hold on because this one’s worth reading. Like all of Kristoff’s work, you can expect plenty of blood and violence. You can also expect that he’s going to put his own spin on it, which is why I say if you’re tired of vampire tales, hold on because you haven’t heard this one. At its most basic core, this is a story about bravery, love, and friendship.
