Synopsis
Azriel, a genie who has existed as a spirit for thousands of years, metamorphoses into human form in contemporary New York. He first recounts the tale of his life in ancient times, then turns to the pressing matters at hand: a computer-created cult is plotting to decimate two-thirds of the world's population. Can Azriel protect the unwitting world from impending slaughter while acclimating to modern conveniences?

Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""Murdered. Her hair was black and so were her eyes. It happened on Fifth Avenue, the murder, inside a fine clothing store, amid hustle and bustle. Hysteria as she fell...perhaps.""
Industry Reviews
"Rice seems to be aiming for a kind of fiction different from that on which she has built her reputation--something more complex, more relevant to contemporary life."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Deborah Wilson (08/25/1996)
"To say that Anne Rice's strengths--most evident in her early work--are essentially the slender ones of a Gothic novelist is not at all to condescend. She has a real gift for rendering psychologically charged mood and melancholy atmosphere, and an old-fashioned penchant for chiaroscuro characterization and intricate if sometimes improbable plotting."
New York Times Book Review - Daniel Mendelsohn (08/11/1996)
