    "description": "<p>A novel of vampires, werewolves and sorcerers, Lightfall is the stunning debut epic fantasy by Ed Crocker, for fans of Jay Kristoff&rsquo;s Empire of the Vampire and Richard Swan&rsquo;s The Justice of Kings For centuries, vampires freely roamed the land until the Grays came out of nowhere, wiping out half the population in a night. The survivors fled to the last vampire city of First Light, where the rules are simple. If you&rsquo;re poor, you drink weak blood. If you&rsquo;re nobility, you get the good stuff. And you can never, ever leave. Palace maid Sam has had enough of these rules, and she&rsquo;s definitely had enough of cleaning the bedpans of the lords who enforce them. When the son of the city&rsquo;s ruler is murdered and she finds the only clue to his death, she seizes the chance to blackmail her way into a better class and better blood. She falls in with the Leeches, a group of rebel maids who rein in the worst of the Lords. Soon she&rsquo;s in league with a sorcerer whose deductive skills make up for his lack of magic, a deadly werewolf assassin and a countess who knows a city&rsquo;s worth of secrets. There&rsquo;s just one problem. What began as a murder investigation has uncovered a vast conspiracy by the ruling elite, and now Sam must find the truth before she becomes another victim. If she can avoid getting murdered, she might just live forever.</p>",
