Here is the gorgeous and sinister story of Marius, patrician by birth, scholar by choice, one of the oldest vampires of them all, which sweeps from his genesis in ancient Rome, in the time of the Emperor Augustus, to his meeting in the present day with a creature of snow and ice. Thorne is a Northern vampire in search of Maharet, his 'maker', the ancient Egyptian vampire queen who holds him and others in thrall with chains made of her red hair, 'bound with steel and with her blood and gold.' When the Visigoths sack his city, Marius is there; with the resurgence of the glory that was Rome, he is there, still searching for his lost love Pandora, but bewitched in turn by Botticelli, the Renaissance beauty Bianca, with her sordid secrets, and the boy he calls Amadeo (otherwise known as the Vampire Armand). Criss-crossing through the stories of other vampires from Rice's glorious Pantheon of the undead, haunted by Pandora and by his alter ego Mael, tracked by the Talamasca, the tale of Marius, the self-styled guardian of 'those who must be kept' is the most wondrous and mind-blowing of them all.

This is a book that even people who hate the vampire chronicles will have to read because of the description of Ancient Roman and the way that life was when Rome ruled the world. This tells you everything that you would like to know about Marius and also tells you about his love Pandora. Marius is an eccentric painter and a host to grand parties in society. I truly loved this book and everything that was in it. I hope that everyone will read this book to understand how the world can change almost instantly and than take hundreds of years to catch up. If you want to know about his care of the Queen and what really happened and how he endured you have to pick this up.
