The Vampire Chronicles: Blood Canticle

Więcej o książce

Anne Rice continues her remarkable Vampire Chronicles, picking up where Blackwood Farm left off, focusing on Lestat's quest for redemption, goodness, and the love of Rowan Mayfair. Welcome back to Blackwood Farm, where the intricate worlds of vampires and witches converge. Key characters include Mona Mayfair, who arrives at the farm to die and becomes entwined in the undead realm; her uncle, Julian Mayfair, who seeks to torment Lestat for Mona's fate; and Rowan Mayfair, a brilliant neurosurgeon and witch drawn to Lestat's power. Michael Curry, Rowan's husband and a hero from the Mayfair Chronicles, seeks Lestat's aid for his wife's temporary madness. The story also features Ash Templeton, a 5,000-year-old Taltos who has taken Mona's child, and Patsy, a country-western singer returning to avenge her death at the hands of her son, Quinn Blackwood. Central to the narrative is Lestat, once the embodiment of evil, now striving for transformation and yearning for goodness, purity, and love. He saves Patsy's ghost from the Earthbound, unravels the mystery of the Taltos, and selflessly decides the fate of Rowan Mayfair. This tale of love, loyalty, passion, and promise showcases Anne Rice at her finest.
