In the sixth installment of the Vampire Chronicles, from 1998, Anne Rice finally tells the story of Armand—eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel—who first appeared more than 20 years earlier in Interview with the Vampire. To the newly turned vampire David Talbot, Armand tells how he was stolen from his boyhood home in Kiev and ended up in 15th-century Venice under the tutelage of the ancient vampire Marius de Romanus. "A fascinating and dazzling historical tapestry, a beautifully written, incredibly absorbing tale. [It documents] the eternal struggle between man and God, and faith and despair."—Booklist "Anne Rice fans will no doubt be thrilled.... It's not just the epic plot but Rice's voluptuary worldview that's the main attraction.... Rice is equally effective in showing how Armand eventually loses his religion and becomes 'the vagabond angel child of Satan,' living under the Paris cemeteries and founding the Grand Guignol-ish Théâtre des Vampires. In the 20th century, a rehabilitated Armand regains his faith but falls in love with two children who save his life. By the conclusion of Armand, the pupil has become the mentor."—Washington Post
