FROM THE PUBLISHER
Anne Rice, creator of the Vampire Lestat, the Mayfair witches, and the fantastic worlds they inhabit, now gives us the first in a series of novels linked together by the fledgling vampire David Talbot, who has set out to become a chronicler. We are in Paris, the time is now. In a crowded cafe, David meets Pandora. She is 2,000 years old, a Child of the Millennia, the first vampire ever made by the great Marius. David persuades her to write for him the story of her life -- from her mortal girlhood in the peaceful Rome of Caesar Augustus through her periolous journey toward the vampire Marius, who will bestow on her the Dark Gift, and through their two centuries together before they are tragically lost to each other.
