Prince Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles, #11)

“I am the Brat Prince. I am the one who went into the sun.”

Lestat finally stops running from his own nature. He accepts the crown because nobody else can hold the tribe together.

Old vampires like Pandora and Armand feel so isolated by their age. They need a center to keep from fading into the earth.

“I am what you have made me.”

The Voice in the heads of the fledglings shows how dangerous a shared vision can be. It turns their immortality into a hive mind nightmare.

Marius still tries to be the father figure even when everything is burning down. His loyalty to the old ways is his greatest weakness.
