LA COMUNIDAD DE LA SANGRE (CRÓNICAS VAMPÍRICAS 13) . UNA HISTORIA DEL PRÍNCIPE LESTAT (RICE, ANNE)
Las Crónicas Vampíricas continúan con el relato del Príncipe Lestat y la fundación de la Comunidad de la Sangre. «La historia que voy a contaros tiene poco o nada que ver con el mundo moderno. Es un cuento tan antiguo como el género mismo, sobre la lucha de los individuos para encontrar y defender su lugar en un universo atemporal, junto a todos los demás hijos de la tierra y del sol y de la luna y de las estrellas.» De la mano de Lestat conoceremos cómo se convirtió en el líder del mundo vampírico y su lucha para encontrar un lugar en el universo de los muertos vivientes y cómo, en contra de su voluntad, debe luchar contra las fuerzas amenazadoras y aparentemente imbatibles de la oscuridad. Desde las torres y las almenas de un castillo ancestral en las montañas nevadas de Francia, hasta los verdes montes de Luisiana con sus fragancias a magnolias y jazmín, pasando por las islas vírgenes del Pacífico y la ciudad de San Petersburgo durante la corte de la emperatriz Catalina, La Comunidad de la Sangre es un apasionante viaje en el que el lector encuentra la esencia más pura del universo de Anne Rice.
