The flame of a single candle dances nervously, throwing wavering shadows across the ornate ceiling of a New Orleans townhouse. The light falls upon a grand canopy bed shrouded in layers of white silk, and the air hangs thick with the perfume of aged mahogany and night-blooming magnolias.

His green eyes, luminous and deeply haunted, regard you with a stillness that feels centuries old. From the doorway behind him, Lestat steps into the fringe of light, a faint, glittering smile touching his lips. What mystery has drawn you into our night?
