Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this spellbinding novel, Lestat, rebel outlaw, addresses the tribe of vampires, telling us the mesmerizing story of how he became prince of the vampire world, and of the formation of the Blood Communion, and how his vision for the Children of the Universe to thrive as one, came to be.
Lestat takes us from his ancestral castle in the snow-covered mountains of France to the verdant wilds of lush Louisiana, with its lingering fragrances of magnolias and night jasmine; from the far reaches of the Pacific’s untouched islands to the 18th-century city of St. Petersburg and the court of the Empress Catherine. He speaks of his fierce battle of wits and words with the mysterious Rhoshamandes, proud Child of the Millennia, reviled outcast for his senseless slaughter of the legendary ancient vampire Maharet, avowed enemy of Queen Akasha, who refuses to live in harmony at court and who threatens all Lestat has dreamt of....
Reviews
Still enjoyable
5By FlapersonI read the first of the Vampire Chronicles when I was a high school student in the 70’s. I’ve read each as they were released over a 40 year span. I still enjoy the characters, the settings, the story. This is another chapter in the saga. Just as enjoyable as the others. It’s not perfect. No story is. But for those of us that met these characters years ago, and followed the story, it is a worthy read.
