$30.00 Book club price: $27.00 Hardcover, 384 pp

Step into the dark and enthralling debut fantasy, perfect for fans of Jay Kristoff’s Empire of the Vampire and Richard Swan’s The Justice of Kings. With its intoxicating mix of vampires, werewolves, sorcerers, and rebellion, this epic tale delivers a story brimming with intrigue, danger, and defiance.

In the last vampire stronghold of First Light, survival is dictated by blood and class. The privileged drink richly while the poor endure meager scraps, and no one escapes the city’s suffocating rules. But when palace maid Sam discovers a clue to the murder of the ruler’s son, she seizes the chance to upend the hierarchy. Her blackmail attempt thrusts her into the shadowy underworld of the Leeches—a band of rebel maids fighting to balance the scales of power.

As Sam allies with a shrewd sorcerer, a fierce werewolf assassin, and a cunning countess, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the fragile survival of First Light. With the city’s elite pulling deadly strings and the Grays—monsters that nearly annihilated vampirekind—still looming in memory, Sam must navigate treachery on all sides.

Atmospheric and teeming with tension, Lightfall is a tale of grit, wit, and the pursuit of freedom against impossible odds. Ed Crocker’s complex characters and twisting plot will spark animated discussions about power, rebellion, and what it takes to fight for a better world. Join us as we delve into this unforgettable fantasy and debate whether Sam can uncover the truth—and survive long enough to change her fate.
