In Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice’s third book in her Vampire Chronicles, Akasha awakes from her 6,000 years of slumber to save humanity by annihilating the cause of all chaos and misery – males. But before she carries out this carnage, she has to capture the vampire Lestat whose rock music awoke her from millennia of sleep. Together, the consort and the queen flew around the globe and used women as killing machines. To execute her plan to rule the world, Akasha, the mother of all vampires, has to obliterate her offspring who dispute her megalomania. With this, the battle between Akasha and her ultimate nemeses – the red haired twin witches Maharet and Mekare – comes to a heart-racing end.


Although Queen of the Damned is a mélange of stories before and after Akasha has risen from deep sleep, the characters become part of the chain in the final chapters revealing their history and what could destroy them all.


An atheist when she wrote this novel, Rice richly interspersed the plot with the occult, history, philosophy, and eroticism with the absence of sex. She had created powerful vampires that can set off Stephenie Meyer’s Edward Cullen to burst into flames with just a lift of an eyebrow.

Released in 1988, the novel brings the readers to places like the 18th century Paris, the pre-pyramid Egypt, The Himalayas, and the present day Miami. Rice’s writing is sensual, mesmerizing, and lyrical. And glorious is the word that sums it all.

Tahimik na nakaupo si Bobby sa labas ng panibagong safe house na pinagdalhan sa kanila ni Apple. Pagkahatid na pagkahatid nito sa kanila ay pinaharurot na agad ng babae ang kotse palayo para daw makipagtuos sa kakambal nitong nagiging traydor na yata.

Silang dalawa lang doon ng tiyahin. Napakaliblib ng lugar at napakatahimik. Naalala niya ang buhay sa probinsiya dati. Hindi kasing-gulo ng nangyayari ngayon. Noon, may kahirapan at kapayakan man ang pamumuhay nila ay wala namang humahabol na mga tauhan ng drug lord sa kanya. Marahil, kung hindi siya nangailangan para sa pagpapagamot ng kanyang tiya ay malamang na wala silang ganitong problema ngayon.

"Sorry Pet, di kita mahahatid ngayon ha. May practice pa kasi kami ng team." malambing na sabi ni Orly sa kanya habang nasa batibot sila. Isa iyong paikot na bench at may malaking puno sa gitna. Ika-limang araw na nila bilang official na mag-boyfriend.

"Okay lang mahal ko." tinapik niya ang pisngi nito.

"Ang sarap naman nun." sabi nito sabay akbay sa kanya.

Kinikilig naman na humilig siya sa dibdib nito. Nararamdaman niya ang pagpintig niyon. Maligayang-maligaya naman ang pakiramdam niya dahil nakasandal siya sa pinakagwapong lalaki sa campus.

"Ano yung masarap?" Monty said grinning.

"Yung tawag mo sa akin. Para tuloy naluma yung "pet" na tawag ko sa'yo." nagmamaktol kuno nitong sabi.

"Asus! At nakipag-kumpetensiya raw ba ang mamang ito." kinurot niya ang pisngi nito. Gawain niya iyon dito kapag naglalambing. Siyang-siya naman ang kumag kapag hinaharot niya.
