About this audiobook

In a feat of virtuoso storytelling, Anne Rice unleashes Akasha, the queen of the damned, who has risen from a six-thousand-year sleep to let loose the powers of the night. Akasha has a marvelously devious plan to “save” mankind and destroy the vampire Lestat—in this extraordinarily sensual novel of the complex, erotic, electrifying world of the undead.

Ratings and reviews

I already loved Anne Rice, but this made me love her even more. I'm glad the fans finally got they (myself included) wanted. 💕

I always loved the Anne Rice collection. Of course the vampire books. I have been having trouble reading as of late eyesight not what it was. So I want to start with the audio books.

Well written, and the narrator's voice fits perfectly- highly recommend!
