Ramses the Great has reawakened in opulent Edwardian London. Having drunk the elixir of life, he is now Ramses the Damned, doomed forever to wander the earth, desperate to quell hungers that can never be satisfied. He becomes the close companion of a voluptuous heiress, Julie Stratford, but his cursed past again propels him toward disaster.

Review

"Rice succeeds masterfully in blending horror and romance- Ramses is a fascinating character, heroic, yet tragically flawed by his human desires" * Atlanta Journal * "The reader is held captive, and, ultimately, seduced" * San Francisco Chronicle * "Vintage Anne Rice: quickly paced, elegantly erotic and full of enchanting terror" * Detroit Free Press *
