— PARIS, 1795

Lestat de Lioncourt reigns as the star of the Théâtre des Vampires, a grand stage where he blends deadly allure with dramatic prowess. Beloved and revered, Lestat thrives on the adoration of his audience, cunningly disguising his vampiric feats as mere performance. As the leader of the French vampire coven, he commands with arrogance and vanity, haunted by the loss of his lost love, Nicolaus de Lenfent. This is his world now—a realm of eternal performance and dark prestige.
