Publisher Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this ambitious, rich vampire novel of vision and power, the indomitable vampire hero, Lestat de Lioncourt, returns ... caught up in an urgent and fundamental quest to understand the origins of the Undead and the deeper meanings of existence for both mortals and immortals.

“In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea . . . And all the world was shaken . . .”

Now Lestat, Prince of the vast tribe of the undead, finds himself at war with a strange, ancient, otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of his immortal body and spirit, and it is through this perilous and profound struggle that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times: a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent in the Atlantic Ocean.

As we learn of the mighty, resonant powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit. An exhilarating novel that deepens Rice’s vampire mythology as it brings together the ancient worlds and beings of the Vampire Chronicles and opens up to us a whole new universe of characters, history, storytelling, and legend.

Fun if you love Lestat

Worthwhile for some flourishes of imagination. And for time spent with beloved characters—-provided you find them beloved

You thought Vampires were"outre"...

Anne Rice takes her series to another level...and not so much in a good way. This is the origin story of the originator of all blood drinkers.
And that could be OK except there are plot holes...neigh...plot crevices in this tale.
It feels like this book was a bridge book-because why else would she have given us a back story that leaves more questions than answers.
If she isn't getting ready to take the story to a new place that fills in the major story gaps then I am just not sure why she wrote this book.
If you are a faithful LeStat fan you will buy this book.
If you aren't don't start with this one.
