Once again, as she did with Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice reveals the starling world of the undead.
And now, this world of dark pleasures and glorious decadence comes to life in a tale that takes us back 6,000 years to the shacking creation of the first vampire – Akasha, Queen of the Damned. Akasha’s story unfolds across the ages and around the world – from the dawn of civilization to the present day, from Egypt to the Himalayas, to Paris Peru, and finally to California. There Akasha faces her ancient, vengeful enemy, and the fate of all the living dead – and the living as well – is decided.
