The 8th novel in Anne Rice's internationally bestselling Vampire Chronicles

Here is the glorious and sinister life of Marius- patrician by birth, scholar by choice and one of the oldest vampires of them all. From his genesis in ancient Rome, to his present day we follow the story of this aristocratic and powerful killer.

His is a tale that spans the breadth of time.

When the Visigoths sack his city, Marius is there; with the resurgence of the glory of Rome, he is there, still searching for his lost love Pandora. So prevalent is Marius that it is he who gives the dark gift to the illustrious vampire Armand.

Intertwined with the stories of a magnificent Pantheon of the undead this account of Marius is the most wondrous and mind-blowing of them all.

Reviews for Blood and Gold (#8 Vampire Chronicles)

Rice has produced a novel that is erotic and sensuous * The Times * Rice's writing is wonderfully imaginative and as creepily splendid as a hot-house orchid * Sunday Times * Erotic and disturbing, Anne Rice is still the best modern Gothic novelist * The Face *
