About this product

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A divinely thrilling series about an assassin with the choice to turn from darkness to light--from the author of Interview with the Vampire The novel opens in the present. At its center: Toby O'Dare--a contract killer of underground fame on assignment to kill once again. A soulless soul, a dead man walking, he lives under a series of aliases--just now: Lucky the Fox--and takes his orders from "The Right Man." Into O'Dare's nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions comes a mysterious stranger, a seraph, who offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. O'Dare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest but instead came to embody danger and violence, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear . . . In this primitive setting, O'Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.

As he ponders his staggering responsibility, the boy is fully believable -- and yet there's something in his supernatural empathy and blazing intelligence that conveys the wondrousness of a boy like no other. . . . With this novel, she has indeed found a convincing version of him; this is fiction that transcends story and instead qualifies as an act of faith. Joins Nikos Kazantzakis'sThe Last Temptationof Christand Endo'sA Life of Jesusas one of the bolder re-tellings." -Kirkus Reviews(starred) Praise forBlood Canticle "When Anne Rice releases a new book inThe Vampire Chroniclesseries, cheers from her huge fan base can be heard everywhere." -The Edmonton Journal From the Hardcover edition., "Thrilling. . .divinely entertaining."   --PEOPLE magazine (3 ½ stars) "Full of provocative moral reflections. . .
