The Vampire Armand: The Vampire Chronicles
Anne Rice
The story of Armand, "eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli
angel," as he travels to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood, a ruined city under
Mongol dominion, and to ancient Istanbul, where Tartar raiders sell him
into slavery. It's also his story in the Venice of the Renaissance, where
he's in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who will bestow upon Armand
the gift of vampiric blood. Eventually, Armand is forced to choose
between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal
soul.
