His life of affluence however comes under threat when his whole family is ambushed by an evil power. While all this unfolds, Vittorio is ensnared by Ursula; a vampire and the most stunning of his supernatural enemies.

As he seeks for revenge, Vittorio will find himself caught in the midst of demonic foes, war and political intrigue. When an archaeologist who unearthed the tomb of Ramses II dies, the treasures are shipped to England to his daughter Julie.

Julie discovers a mummy which comes to life in the form of a perfect man. She grows fond of him, and familiarizes him with modern life in a move that includes visiting the museums that claim to reconstruct his time. He is however greatly upset by the modern day portrayal of his beloved Cleopatra.

When Ramses, Julie, her ex-fiance and his father Elliott travel to Egypt, Ramses is further unsettled by the tourist aspect of his ancient civilization. Cleopatra is a walking corpse of decomposed flesh and a disorientated mind; one that goes on a merciless killing spree.

Former pharaoh of Egypt, Ramses the Great, is brought back to life by the elixir of life while in Edwardian England. Now immortal along with his future bride, he is caught up in a deadly battle of wills against the legendry Queen Cleopatra. Cleopatra was similarly reawakened by the same elixir which mysteriously brings the dead back to life. As these powerful ancient rulers openly challenge one another in their bid to unravel the mystical powers of the elixir, they are disturbed by a force much older and greater than them.

This force, a queen with an exceptional knowledge of the origins of the elixir, once ruled a kingdom that stretched to the very ends of the earth. Only she holds the key to the immortality of Ramses and Cleopatra, and the secrets of the vast expanse of the universe.

This story begins in the present day. He has no soul and is basically a dead man walking. His life of solitary assignments and dangerous mission is however interrupted by a seraph who gives him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. Toby O'Dare, a former hit-man, is summoned by angel Malchiah to carry out findings on the poisoning of a well known nobleman, and bring an end to the haunting of a diabolical dybbuk. Masquerading as a lute player sent to appease this troublesome spirit, Toby will soon learn that despite all the plots and counterplots, he is still cornered by the veil of ecclesiastical terror closeing in around him.

This is the story of Louis who narrates his journey through the mortal and immortal life, and how he was lured to become a vampire by the lustrous and evil Lestat. Based in the streets of New Orleans, Louis comes across a lost young child by the name Claudia, but ends up turning her into a vampire not because he wanted to hurt but to help her.

The two go on to form a formidable alliance; with their mutual resentment towards Lestat driving them halfway across the globe to look for others of their kind. Arriving at Paris, they settle at the Theatre des Vampires; a place where they meet Armand who welcomes them into a whole community of vampires.

Louis and Claudia will however learn that finding others of their kind presents more danger than they could ever envisage. This second installation of The Vampire Chronicles follows Lestat as he searches for his origins and seeks to solve the riddle behind what exactly happened to him.

The book reveals a kind-hearted personality with his own fusion of morality, romanticism, and courage, in stark contrast to the harsh and evil Lestat introduced in Interview With The Vampire. Lestat nevertheless goes on to become a successful rock star musician commanding millions of followers; a move that triggers him to reveal his true identity with the hope that other immortals in the world will join his course of seeking to solve the mystery behind who they are, and where they came from.

This third installation of The Vampire Chronicles follows three completely different storylines. Lestat, a rock star vampire, makes his final preparations for a concert in San Francisco; squeakily unaware of the hundreds of vampires mingling among the fans—determined to destroy him for risking to expose them. A group of men and women around the world, both vampires and mortals, is muddled by a strange dream of red-haired twins who suffer a horrifying tragedy.

Searching for answers, Lestat ends up awakening Akasha, Queen of the Damed and mother of all vampires, from her 6, year sleep while on cavern, way beneath a Greek Island. Lestat returns as the main character in this fourth part of the series; albeit as a reckless and emotional figure searching for a serial killer in Southern Florida.

Swayed by James to temporarily switch bodies with a young mortal, against the advice of Louis, Lestat quickly falls for it only to learn that he hates everything about being a mortal. But James has already vanished with his mighty vampire body, and Louis is unwilling to help him become a vampire again.

All the while, the Devil seemingly knows what his real identity is, and as such wants something from him. Caught between his life as a vampire and his feelings for Dora, Lestat gets acquainted with Memnoch who claims to be the Devil himself; offering him with opportunities beyond his wildest dreams. Through this sixth part of The Vampire Chronicles , Anne Rice grippingly takes us through the story of Armand; the perpetually young boy with the face of a Botticelli angel.

At a lavish palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance, Armand is held captive mentally and emotionally by Marius; a powerful vampire who masquerades amongst humans as an isolated painter.

Louis is greatly tormented by guilt. Desolate, he seeks the help of Merrick, a beautiful witch, with the hope of bringing Claudia back. Marius, who was at one point a proud Senator in Imperial Rome, is abducted and forcefully made a protector of the Queen and King of the vampires in the dark realm of blood.

We, from his point of view, witness the fall of pagan Rome to the Emperor Constantine, the terrible sack of the Eternal City by the Visigoths, and the atrocious aftermath of the Black Death.

He eventually ends up happily residing in the midst of mortals as a painter after order is restored by the Renaissance; even giving his heart to the great master Botticelli, to Bianca the enchanting courtesan, and to the young, strange apprentice by the name Armand. But in the present day, somewhere in the jungle, Marius will meet his fate whilst seeking justice from the oldest vampires in the world.

Quinn Blackwood is a smart young man who has been disturbed since birth by a strange doppelganger "Goblin"; a spirit from a dream world that can neither let him escape nor allow him to belong anywhere. But when he becomes a vampire in a move that sees him lose everything he has ever owned, and unwillingly gain an unspeakable immortality, the doppelganger becomes stronger and more horrifying than Quinn himself.

Moving from his boyhood on Blackwood Farm to New Orleans in the present day, from ancient Athens to Naples in the 19th-century, Quinn will seek the help of renowned Vampire, Lestat, with the hope of setting himself free.

Julian Mayfair, her uncle and protector of the family, is on a mission to haunt Lestat for what he did to Mona. Patsy, the country-western singer, returns to exact retribution for her death; one that took place at the hands Quinn Blackwood…her son. Fires are being lit all over the world, large massacres, eerily similar to those carried out by Akasha in The Queen of the Damned …Old vampires, awoken from their slumber in the earth, do the bidding of a Voice; one that demands that they erratically burn vampire-mavericks across cities, from the likes of Paris and Mumbai to Hong Kong, Kyoto, and San Francisco.

Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, a hero and inspirational leader, fights and eventually makes peace with a mysterious force from another world that strangely takes possession of Lestat's living body and soul. This old and mystical power has all the strength, history, and guileful reach of the unknowable Universe.

Through this spirit, we come to learn of the hidden paradise located on a limitless continent, and why this power came to build and rule the magnificent empires than once blossomed in the Atlantic Ocean centuries ago. We will come to learn of the immeasurable and extensive powers of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya.

Reuben Golding, a young reporter on assignment, arrives at an isolated mansion high above the Pacific at the request of the female owner of the home. She swiftly seduces him and they seem to be having a perfect night until the man is mysteriously ambushed and bitten by a beast lurking among the rural darkness.

This opens a new chapter of a horrifying albeit seductive transformation that will thrust Reuben into a new and mysterious world with so many unanswered questions. Reuben Golding, who now has the Wolf Gift, is however preparing to commemorate an ancient Midwinter festival along with his fellow Morphenkinder—a secret meeting that normally assembles deep within the vegetation rich areas of the surrounding forests. But when he is harassed by a ghost, Reuben becomes anguished and unable to speak as the ghost haunts the corridors of the magnificent mansion.
