Description

In the grand types of Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice's new novel moves across time and the continents, from nineteenth-century Vienna to a St. Charles Greek Revival mansion in present-day New Orleans for the dazzling capitals of the current-day world, telling a tale of two charismatic figures bound to one another by way of a passionate commitment to music as a way of rapture, seduction, and liberation.At the novel's middle: an uniquely intriguing lady, Triana--who once imagined being a good artist--and the demonic fiddler Stefan, tormented ghost of a Russian aristocrat, who starts to feed upon her, using his miracle Cello first to attract, subsequently to pull and master her right into a state-of chaos through the music she loves. But Triana knows the ability of the audio maybe even significantly more than does Stefan--and she sets out to avoid Stefan and to combat not just for her sanity but for her existence. The battle brings them both right into a frightening supernatural world where they end up surrounded by memories, by disasters, and by overpowering facts.
