Plot summary
The novel is a tale told by the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, in which he recounts his confrontations with the villainous vampire Rhoshamandes; his efforts to successfully rule the vampiric world as Prince Lestat; and his attempts to bring together the vampires of the world into one unified, familial tribe, in order to end centuries of enmity and isolation among the various vampiric factions and individuals. Over the course of the novel, Lestat is forced to grapple with questions of vampiric mortality; the limitations of his own ability to save and protect the ones he loves; as well as his overall purpose and goals as both an individual blooddrinker and as Prince of the vampires.
