    Summary

    An immediate sequel to Blood Communion. A love story.

    As Louis gradually becomes aware of a power he never realized he possessed, he’s forced to reevaluate the traumatic experience he suffered at Rhoshamandes's hands. He looks to his maker for strength, and Lestat tries his best to provide it in the wake of his own trauma. Meanwhile, Marius and Armand vow to use this second chance at life to finally try to repair their relationship.

    It would be a lot simpler for both couples if they were alone, but in a Court full of other vampires, it seems someone else is always getting in the way. Louis becomes embroiled with the powerful, domineering Gregory, who triggers memories of Rhosh's violent strength, while Marius finds himself drawn to the innocent Antoine, who reminds him of Amadeo long ago. And Lestat and Armand, of course, don't like any of this at all.

    Summary

    Two nights in 1993. Louis watches a documentary on the AIDS crisis. Lestat reflects upon his life with Nicolas in Paris, and the blight of damnation.


    “My point is...” he swallowed, and he got a strange, faraway look in his eyes. He took one of my hands and held it, brushing his thumb over the blue veins on the back of my hand. He sighed. “I understand. To some degree, though perhaps not perfectly, what it had been like for you as a mortal man. When you were living in Paris.

    “And I understand,” he whispered, looking pointedly into my eyes. “…some measure of what you lost.”

    Summary

    As Louis turns, Valois’ hand catches him by the elbow and holds him fast. Something jolts through Louis at the contact and he tells himself it's shock at the impropriety, “Will you be coming to the performance tomorrow, Monsieur Louis…?”

    “Louis de Pointe du Lac,” Louis says. His whole life he's prided himself on not being the kind of man who makes foolish snap decisions, but he looks at Lestat de Valois, feels the warmth of his hand on his arm, and says, “I will.”
