Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A daring new departure from the inspired creator of The Vampire Chronicles (âunrelentingly erotic . . . unforgettableââThe Washington Post), Lives of the Mayfair Witches (âAnne Rice will live on through the ages of literatureââSan Francisco Chronicle), and the angels of The Songs of the Seraphim (âremarkableââAssociated Press). A whole new worldâmodern, sleek, high-techâand at its center, a story as old and compelling as history: the making of a werewolf, reimagined and reinvented as only Anne Rice, teller of mesmerizing tales, conjurer extraordinaire of other realms, could create.
Â
The time is the present.
Â
The place, the rugged coast of Northern California. A bluff high above the Pacific. A grand mansion full of beauty and tantalizing history set against a towering redwood forest.
Â
A young reporter on assignment from the San Francisco Observer . . . An older woman welcoming him into her magnificent family home that he has been sent to write about and that she must sell with some urgency . . . A chance encounter between two unlikely people . . . An idyllic nightâshattered by horrific unimaginable violence, the young man inexplicably attackedâbittenâby a beast he cannot see in the rural darkness . . . A violent episode that sets in motion a terrifying yet seductive transformation, as the young man, caught between ecstasy and horror, between embracing who he is evolving into and fearing what he will become, soon experiences the thrill of the wolf gift.
Â
As he resists the paradoxical pleasure and enthrallment of his wolfen savagery and delights in the power and (surprising) capacity for good, he is caught up in a strange and dangerous rescue and is desperately hunted as âthe Man Wolfâ by authorities, the media, and scientists (evidence of DNA threatens to reveal his dual existence) . . . As a new and profound love enfolds him, questions emerge that propel him deeper into his mysterious new world: questions of why and how he has been given this gift; of its true nature and the curious but satisfying pull towards goodness; of the profound realization that there may be others like him who are watchingâguardian creatures who have existed throughout time who possess ancient secrets and alchemical knowledge. And throughout it all, the search for salvation for a soul tormented by a new realm of temptations, and the fraught, exhilarating journey, still to come, of being and becoming, fully, both wolf and man.
Look for Anne Riceâs new book, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, coming November 29, 2016.
From the Hardcover edition.
