From Anne Rice, conjurer of the beloved best sellers Interview with the Vampire and Prince Lestat, an ambitious and exhilarating new novel of utopian vision and power"In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken . . ." --Anne Rice, Prince Lestat and the Realms of AtlantisAt the novel's center: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, inspirer, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of Lestat's undead body and soul. This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history, and insidious reach of the unknowable Universe.It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, 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--and of how and why, and in what manner and with what far-reaching purpose, this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean.And as we learn of the mighty, far-reaching powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and 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.

A stunning departure, a surprising and compelling returnFrom Anne Rice, perennial best seller, single-handed reinventor of the vampire cosmology--a new, exhilarating novel, a deepening of her vampire mythology, and a chillingly hypnotic mystery-thriller. "What can we do but reach for the embrace that must now contain both heaven and hell: our doom again and again and again" --from The Vampire Lestat Rice once again summons up the irresistible spirit-world of the oldest and most powerful forces of the night, invisible beings unleashed on an unsuspecting world able to take blood from humans, in a long-awaited return to the extraordinary world of the Vampire Chronicles and the uniquely seductive Queen of the Damned ("mesmerizing" --San Francisco Chronicle), a long-awaited novel that picks up where The Vampire Lestat ("brilliantits undead characters are utterly alive" --New York Times) left off more than a quarter of a century ago to create an extraordinary new world of spirits and forces--the characters, legend, and lore of all the Vampire Chronicles. The novel opens with the vampire world in crisisvampires have been proliferating out of control; burnings have commenced all over the world, huge massacres similar to those carried out by Akasha in The Queen of the DamnedOld vampires, roused from slumber in the earth are doing the bidding of a Voice commanding that they indiscriminately burn vampire-mavericks in cities from Paris and Mumbai to Hong Kong, Kyoto, and San Francisco. As the novel moves from present-day New York and the West Coast to ancient Egypt, fourth century Carthage, 14th-century Rome, the Venice of the Renaissance, the worlds and beings of all the Vampire Chronicles-Louis de Pointe du Lac; the eternally young Armand, whose face is that of a Boticelli angel; Mekare and Maharet, Pandora and Flavius; David Talbot, vampire and ultimate fixer from the secret Talamasca; and Marius, the true Child of the Millennia; along with all the other new seductive, supernatural creatures-come together in this large, luxuriant, fiercely ambitious novel to ultimately rise up and seek out who-or what-the Voice is, and to discover the secret of what it desires and why And, at the book's center, the seemingly absent, curiously missing hero-wanderer, the dazzling, dangerous rebel-outlaw--the great hope of the Undead, the dazzling Prince Lestat

Rams#s es inmortal, vive a trav#s de los siglos. Pero ha bebido el elixir de la vida y se ha convertido en Rams#s el Maldito, condenado a recorrer la tierra para saciar afanes que nunca ver# satisfechos: de comida, de vino, de mujeres.

La tercera entrega de las "Crónicas Vampíricas" nos aproxima de nuevo al abismal mundo de Lestat, esta vez con su amante: la Reina de los Condenados. Lestat, convertido en una famosa estrella del rock, despierta con su musica a Akasha, la Reina de los Condenados. La que una vez fuera la reina del Nilo, toma a Lestat como amante y mano derecha, y vuelca todas sus fuerzas en la destruccion de vampiros y varones con el fin de que las hembras creen un nuevo orden. Pese a las suplicas de Lestat, los deseos de la Reina son irrefrenables, y sera necesario un sacrificio para acabar con sus ansias de destruccion. "Yo soy el vampiro Lestat, ¿me recordais? El vampiro que llego a ser una superestrella del rock, el que escribio su autobiografia. El de pelo rubio y ojos grises, el de insaciables deseos de hacerse visible y famoso. Me recordais. Quise ser un simbolo del mal en un siglo iluminado donde el mal (en el sentido estricto de la palabra) que soy yo no tiene lugar. Me imagine incluso que, de esta forma, haria algun bien: jugando a ser el diablo en el escenario. La ultima vez que hablamos acababa de empezar algo con buen pie..."

It is the beginning of December and it is cold and grey outside. In the stately flickering hearths of the grand mansion of Nideck Point, oak fires are burning. The Morphenkinder are busy getting ready for the ancient pagan feast of midwinter. Everyone is invited, including some of their own who do not wish them well...Reuben Golding, the newest of the Morphenkinder, is struggling with his new existence as a Man Wolf, struggling to learn to control his desires and bloodthirsty urges. His pure, luminous girlfriend Laura seems all set to join him in this new way of life, but Reuben is not at all certain he will love her if she becomes as he is. Beyond the mansion, the forest echoes with howling winds, which carry with them tales of a strange nether world, and of spirits - centuries old - who possess their own fantastical ancient histories and taunt with their dark, magical powers. As preparations for the feast gather pace, destiny continues to hound Reuben, not least in the form of a strange, tormented ghost who appears at the window, unable to speak. But he is not alone: before the festivities are over, choices must be made - choices which will decide the fate of the Morphenkinder for ever.

Con la misma maestr#a que exhibi# en Entrevista con el vampiro, Anne Rice nos transporta en esta nueva novela a trav#s del tiempo, desde la Viena del siglo XIX hasta las deslumbrantes capitales modernas. En Viol#n Anne Rice relata la historia de dos figuras carism#ticas unidas por una apasionada entrega a la m#sica como modo de seducci#n y liberaci#n. Se trata de Triana, una mujer #nica y fascinante, que alguna vez so## con ser una eximia int#rprete, y Stefan, el atormentado esp#ritu de un arist#crata ruso que comienza a perseguirla y a valerse de su viol#n m#gico para encantarla y dominarla. Pero Triana comprende el poder de la m#sica incluso m#s que Stefan, y se propone resistirse a #l, al tiempo que lucha por conservar la cordura y la vida. El enfrentamiento arrastra a ambos a un aterrador reino sobrenatural donde se encuentran rodeados de recuerdos, de horrores y de verdades sobrecogedoras.
