Though the modernized version of the process at first seems uncomplicated, the couple discovers that the challenges facing a human who wishes to be a vampire are no less formidable than they were in the eighteenth century. But his transformation is not an easy one and the ancient traditions and responsibilities of the de Clermont family clash with Marcus's deeply held beliefs in liberty, equality, and brotherhood.įast-forward to contemporary Paris, where Phoebe Taylor-the young employee at Sotheby's whom Marcus has fallen for-is about to embark on her own journey to immortality. When Matthew offers him a chance at immortality and a new life free from the restraints of his puritanical upbringing, Marcus seizes the opportunity to become a vampire.

On the battlefields of the American Revolution, Matthew de Clermont meets Marcus MacNeil, a young surgeon from Massachusetts, during a moment of political awakening when it seems that the world is on the brink of a brighter future. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches-now a hit TV series airing Sundays on AMC and BBC America, and streaming on Sundance Now and Shudder-comes a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.
