โฆ Synopsis
The vampire world is in crisis: vampires have been proliferating out of control and burnings, huge massacres, have commenced all over the world. Old vampires, roused from their earth-bound slumber, are doing the bidding of The Voice, which commands that they indiscriminately burn vampire-mavericks in cities from Paris to Mumbai, Hong Kong to Kyoto and San Francisco. We are back with the worlds and beings of Anne Rice's legendary Vampire Chronicles: in present-day New York and Ancient Egypt, 4th-century Carthage, 14th-century Rome, Renaissance Venice; with Louis de Pointe du Lac; Armand the eternally young, whose face is that of a Boticelli angel; Mekare and Maharet; Pandora and Flavius; David Talbot, vampire and ultimate fixer from the Secret Talamasca; and Marius, the true child of the Millennia. These come together with a host of new, seductive supernatural creatures, to seek out who--or what--The Voice is, and to discover the secret of what it desires and why. And, at the book's centre, is always and forever the seemingly absent, curiously missing hero-wanderer, the dazzling, dangerous rebel-outlaw--the great 'hope' of the Undead, the dazzling Prince Lestat.
