Book Description
Anne Rice, creator of the Vampire Lestat, the Mayfair witches and the amazing worlds they inhabit, now gives us the first in a new series of novels linked together by the fledgling vampire David Talbot, who has set out to become a chronicler of his fellow Undead. The novel opens in present-day Paris in a crowded café, where David meets Pandora. She is two thousand years old, a Child of the Millennia, the first vampire ever made by the great Marius. David persuades her to tell the story of her life. Pandora begins, reluctantly at first and then with increasing passion, to recount her mesmerizing tale, which takes us through the ages, from Imperial Rome to eighteenth-century France to twentieth-century Paris and New Orleans. She carries us back to her mortal girlhood in the world of Caesar Augustus, a world chronicled by Ovid and Petronius. This is where Pandora meets and falls in love with the handsome, charismatic, lighthearted, still-mortal Marius. This is the Rome she is forced to flee in fear of assassination by conspirators plotting to take over the city. And we follow her to the exotic port of Antioch, where she is destined to be reunited with Marius, now immortal and haunted by his vampire nature, who will bestow on her the Dark Gift as they set out on the fraught and fantastic adventure of their two turbulent centuries together. Look for Anne Rice’s new book, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, coming November 29, 2016.

Book Description
I thought my life was perfect, but then I learned it was all a lie. My name is El, and I live in a quiet southern town where the most exciting thing that happens is Friday night football and the Harvest Moon Festival. That is...until I learn that the three women who raised me have been lying to me all my life. I thought I was an orphan. I thought my aunts loved and respected me enough to always tell me the truth. I was wrong. Dead wrong. A month before my eighteenth birthday the truth of my birth, of my whole existence, came crashing down all around me, destroying everything I thought I knew about my life. Not only is my mother alive, but she's the mythical Pandora. You remember her. She's the one who opened the box Zeus gave her and unleashed chaos into the world. Supposedly, I'm the savior that three other worlds I didn't even knew existed are counting on to rescue them. There's just one problem. I can only save one of them. A champion from each of these troubled worlds are coming to my home so I can choose one to marry. Whoever I pick, gets to not only save their world but also have me as their wife. The battle to win my heart won't be easy for them, if my aunts have anything to say about it. They'll all have to participate in a tournament that will challenge not only their physical strengths but also their ability to charm me into falling in love with them. I don't want this responsibility. I don't want to save one world while dooming two others. There has to be a way out of all of this, but the evil forcing this choice on me...the one who has waited a millennium for me to finally come of age to participate in this game...is my own brother, and he won't take no for an answer. He's chaos unleashed, and I'm the only one who can stop him.
