Servant of the Bones
by Anne Rice
"[Rice] has a real gift for rendering psychically charged mood and melancholy atmosphere."
--The New York Times Book Review
Having created fantastic universes of vampires and witches, the incomparable Anne Rice now carries us into new realms of the mystical and the magical--and into the presence of a dark and luminous new hero: the powerful, witty, smiling Azriel, Servant of the Bones. He is a ghost, demon, angel--in love with the good, in thrall to the evil. He pours out his heart to us, telling his astonishing story when he finds himself--in present-day New York City--a dazed witness to the murder of a young girl and inexplicably obsessed by the desire to avenge her.
Then he takes us back to his mortal youth in the magnificent city of Babylon, where he is plucked from death by evil priests and sorceresses and transformed into a genii commanded to do their bidding. Challenging these forces of destruction, Azriel embarks on his perilous journey through time--from Babylon's hanging gardens to the Europe of the Black Death to Manhattan in the 1990s. And as his quest approaches its climactic horror, he dares to use and to risk his supernatural powers in the hope of forestalling a world-threatening conspiracy and redeeming, at last, what was denied him so long ago: his own eternal human soul. . . .
