Blood and gold, or, the story of Marius
|
by Anne Rice
Once a proud senator in Imperial Rome, Marius is kidnapped and forced into the dark realm of blood, where he is made a protector of the Queen and King of the vampires. Through his eyes, we see the fall of pagan Rome to the Emperor Constantine, the sack of the city by the Visigoths, and the aftermath of the Black Death. Restored by the beauty of the Renaissance, Marius becomes a painter, giving his heart in turn to the master Botticelli, the courtesan Bianca, and the young apprentice Armand. But it is in the present day, deep in the jungle, when Marius will meet his fate seeking justice from the oldest vampires in the world. 564 pages Publisher : Ballantine Date Published : 2002-09 First member to have this in CatalogTalk about this |
