What this book is about
The third Vampire Chronicles novel follows Lestat's audacious emergence as a rock star whose music reaches all vampires — including Akasha, the ten-thousand-year-old Queen of the Damned, who awakens from her millennia of sleep with a genocidal plan for humanity. Rice's most ambitious Vampire Chronicles entry weaves in the origin mythology of all vampires.
