this is the first book in the new tales of the vampires series by anne rice, not being part of the vampire chronicles at all.
i would recommand this book if you love anne rice stories and is befinning to feel tired of reading about the same vampire in all of her books.
this is the first book that it has nothing to do with nay other vampire in the whole chronicles series and is itself a standalone book.
relatively short as well, it is an easy read but still pacts a goory impact like the other ones
Summary:
Educated in the Florence of Cosimo de' Medici, trained in knighthood at his father's mountaintop castle, Vittorio inhabits a world of courtly splendor and country pleasures -- a world suddenly threatened when his entire family is confronted by an unholy power.
In the midst of this upheaval, Vittorio is seduced by the vampire Ursula, the most beautiful of his supernatural enemies. As he sets out in pursuit of vengenace, entering the nightmarish Court of the Ruby Grail, increasingly more enchanted (and confused) by his love for the mysterious Ursula, he finds himself facing demonic adversaries, war and political intrigue.
Against a backdrop of the wonders -- both sacred and profane -- and the beauty and ferocity of Renaissance Italy, Anne Rice creates a passionate and tragic legend of doomed young love and lost innocence.

Don't remind me. I love all of her books and I own half of them and my mom owns the other half so together we have them all. I have not read this one, I have thought about reading it. It's just she wrote so many books before she changed her writing style and sometimes I forget which ones I haven't read.
