Featured in our reading guide: Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles in Order (and Where the Mayfair Witches Fit)
by Anne Rice
Book two of the New Tales of the Vampires.
Educated in the Florence of Cosimo de' Medici, trained in knighthood at his father's mountaintop castle, Vittorio inhabits a world of courtly splendor and country pleasures - a world suddenly threatened when his entire family is confronted by an unholy power.
In the midst of this upheaval, Vittorio is seduced by the beautiful and sinister vampire Ursula - setting in motion a chilling chain of events that will mark his life for eternity. Against a backdrop of the wonders - both sacred and profane - and the beauty and ferocity of Renaissance Italy, Anne Rice creates a passionate and tragic legend of doomed young love and lost innocence.
