A new saga begins, a major departure for the
incomparable Anne Rice.
Having created fantastic universes of vampires
and witches, having chronicled the exploits of
Lestat and the Mayfairs, she carries us now into
new realms of the occult, the mystical, and the
magical, and into the presence--now and through
the centuries- of a dark and luminous new hero:
the powerful, witty, smiling Azriel, Servant of the
Bones.
He is 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 our own time, in New York City-a
dazed witness to the murder of a young girl called
Esther and inexplicably obsessed by the desire to
avenge her.
He takes us back to his mortal youth in the mag-
nificent city of Babylon--the gateway to the pagan
gods, a wonder of ziggurats, shrines, and ships at
anchor from all nations.
We see Ariel at twenty-a Jew, educated, rich,
beautiful, fiercely devoted to his captive Hebrew
tribe, and dedicated to his prophets Jeremiah and
Isaiah. In this time of bloody wars and religious
upheavals, greedy kings and cunning magicians who
vie with rabbis for spiritual dominion, Ariel falls
victim to a royal plot compounded by his devotion
to his Hebrew God- only to be plucked from death
by evil priests and sorceresses and transformed into
a genii commanded to do their bidding.
Challenging these forces of destruction, marshal-
ing all his strength and wit to defeat them, Azriel
embarks on his perilous journey through time-
from Babylon's hanging gardens to the Europe
of the Black Death to Manhattan in the 19905-
