Description
The glorious and sinister life of Marius, one of the oldest vampires of them all. Born into patrician nobility, he became a scholar by choice, driven by his unyielding quest for knowledge and love. From ancient Rome to present day, Marius's story spans centuries, weaving in and out of history as the Visigoths sack his city and the glory of Rome is reborn. His tale is intertwined with that of other magnificent beings of the undead, yet it stands as a testament to the enduring power of obsession and desire. This account of Marius's life is a wondrous and mind-blowing exploration of the human condition, one that will appeal to readers with its dark beauty and timeless themes.
