The Vampire Chronicles continue with a riveting, rich saga--part
adventure, part suspense--of Prince Lestat and the story of the Blood
Communion as he tells the tale of his coming to rule the vampire world
and the eternal struggle to find belonging, a place in the universe for
the undead, and how, against his will, he must battle the menacing,
seemingly unstoppable force determined to thwart his vision and destroy
the entire vampire netherworld.In this spellbinding novel,
Lestat, rebel outlaw, addresses the tribe of vampires, directly,
intimately, passionately, and tells the mesmerizing story of the
formation of the Blood Communion and how he became Prince of the vampire
world, the true ruler of this vast realm, and how his vision for all
the Children of the Universe to thrive as one, came to be. The
tale spills from Lestat's heart, as he speaks first of his new
existence as reigning monarch--and then 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; Rhoshamandes, a demon
spirit who refuses to live in harmony at the Court of Prince Lestat and
threatens all that Lestat has dreamt of. As the tale unfolds,
Lestat takes us from the towers and battlements of 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 . . .

During a business visit to Count Dracula\'s castle in Transylvania, a young English solicitor finds himself at the center of a series of horrifying incidents. Jonathan Harker is attacked by three phantom women, observes the Count\'s transformation from human to bat form, and discovers puncture wounds on his own neck that seem to have been made by teeth. Harker returns home upon his escape from Dracula\'s grim fortress, but a friend\'s strange malady involving sleepwalking, inexplicable blood loss, and mysterious throat wounds initiates a frantic vampire hunt.
