Synopsis
In Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, Lestat begins experiencing persistent, unexplained visions of a sunken city, prompting him to investigate their meaning together with Amel, the ancient spirit bound to the origin of all vampires. Their inquiry uncovers a connection between these visions and Atlantis, a legendary lost civilization whose all-powerful ruler and advanced, ancient technology turn out to be tied directly to the vampire world's own deepest origins. As the investigation widens, it draws in vampires from across the series, forcing them to confront a threat and a history far older than anything they had previously understood about their own creation.
