Lestat de Lioncourt is no longer alone. A strange, otherworldly spirit has resurfaced, taking possession of his body and soul. 
 
All-seeing, all-knowing, its voice whispers in his ear, telling the hypnotic tale of Atlantis, the great sea power of ancient times.
 
Prince Lestat is seduced by the power of this ancient spirit, but is he right to trust it? 
 
Why has Lestat, leader of the vampires, been chosen as its bodily host? And what of Atlantis, the mysterious heaven on earth? 
 
Why must the vampires reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit? 
 
It falls to Lestat to discover the truth.
