About this audiobook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An ambitious and exhilarating novel of utopian vision and power, from Anne Rice, conjurer of the beloved best sellers Interview with the Vampire and Prince Lestat
 
"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 Atlantis
 
At 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.

Ratings and reviews

Im only a few pages in and as usual i am captivated by Anne Rice's deep deep detail and history of this world of vampires and espcially her pet, friend & lover Lestat. I cant get enough of him, thus my purchase of this eBook. I believe that if you like any of her books you will not be disapointed.

Love it, but I still think Lestat should've destroyed Roshamandes. Now off to the next and final book of the Vampire Chronicles.
