Silver Under Nightfall: The most exciting gothic romantasy you'll read all year!

Product Information

They need a human liaison. They both want Remy (in more ways than one) – who isn’t at all sure what he wants except to get out of Aluria for a while. The political temperature is getting way too hot for him and his father’s demands are becoming even more outrageous than they always have been. More likely it was a sliver of a scent of a memory, he surmised, of what the vampire lord had been like when he’d still been human. All of that makes the story feel epic in scope in a way that horror seldom is. And most of what is truly horrible in this story isn’t the monsters. It’s all the endless betrayals. It feels like the foundations of Remy’s world get pulled out from under him over and over as he keeps learning that under the corruption of everything if you scrape it away there’s yet another layer of, you guessed it, rot and corruption. Nothing he thinks he knows turns out to have any bearing on any truth. And that’s just the tip of the really massive and ugly iceberg of why Remy is persona non grata in his own country – unless they need something killed and everyone else is too scared or too prissy to get their hands dirty. The first novel in the series, The Bone Witch, follows Tea, a teen with the ability to raise the dead, who finds herself caught in a struggle for power as she explores her newfound abilities after she accidentally resurrects her late brother.

First-year debutantes tended to flee from him once the introductions were over, which was only a shade politer than those in their second and third years, who needn’t bother speaking to him at all. But she was sixteen years old and a willowy little thing, all dolled up in pink lace; stammering and nervous at first, but braver than she let on. She’d stayed and smiled and talked to him like he wasn’t a pariah among the aristocracy, like she wasn’t risking her reputation over a conversation with him. She had lovely green eyes and smelled like jasmine. Rin Chupeco [1] is a Chinese Filipino writer of young adult fiction, best known for their books The Bone Witch, The Girl from the Well, and The Never-Tilting World series.

Remy Pendergast is a Reaper. In this world that means vampire hunter. But Remy only hunts so-called “rogue” vampires – ones who are causing mischief in human-controlled countries like Aluria. Vampires also have fiefdoms of their own where the rules are undoubtedly different. As you all probably know by now, Rin Chupeco is one of my absolute all-time favorite authors. The Bone Witch trilogy was practically formative reading for me. Not to mention, The Never-Tilting World and The Ever-Cruel Kingdom both honestly spoke to me on a deep, almost spiritual level. So of course I had to read Rin Chupeco’s first venture into the adult genre, Silver Under Nightfall. After all, this isn’t just an ordinary adult debut. It’s an adult debut about vampires. Featuring a throuple, which Rin has described as “two vampires find a vampire hunter in the trash and take them in”. The man who had bested him was a Summer Lord. A Third Court vampire. His father was going to kill him.

Review: Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco - Utopia State

Unlikely alliances, simmering chemistry, and plenty of fight scenes Silver Under Nightfall is a unique delight. Sometimes you just need some fresh blood, someone to challenge everything we’ve ever known, to show us our true circumstances. Chupeco’s balance of stakes from the personal all the way to the larger world kept me reading past when I said I’d stop. There were moments I laughed aloud – something that happens more rarely these days – all the way to steaminess, tension, and fear. The vampire grabbed at the links and snapped them with a deft twist. With nothing else to keep it moored, the knife flew on, disappearing swiftly into the darkness. I understand that you had to do what was necessary to restrain my brother, even if it meant delivering him serious injury,” the lord said, the words whisper-soft and low. “That fight has been settled, with you the victor. But if you wish to continue, it is I you shall be facing next. And this battle, my pet, you will not win.” As the vampire mutation spreads throughout the kingdom, Remy must choose between loyalty to his beloved kingdom and his newfound connections with the creatures he was sworn to destroy. Will he risk it all to save those he’s grown to care for?He would’ve liked nothing more than to forget every ball he’d ever been forced to attend, but the mind is a funny bastard, one he’d trained to retain information on the off chance it could save his life. And so he remembered. He remembered her. I’m sorry.” The words always felt hollow, but he said them every time. She was lucid—they sometimes were, near the end, but never for long.
