    Summary

    "Louis felt like he was drowning and burning all at once.

    The familiar, bottomless well of emptiness and resignation pulled at his ankles. The white-hot holy fire of Claudia’s rage scorched his skin, threatening to blind him. Her vengeance had been biblical in its unflinching ferocity. There was only one way this could play out that wouldn’t destroy them all. Mutually assured destruction had nearly ruined them. Compromise had paralyzed them, trapped them in an endless stalemate.

    As things were, there was no chance at anything other than mere survival."

    Louis puts down the knife. Claudia leaves the nest. Lestat endures.

    Summary

    "I thought I could do good," Louis whispered, ashamed to the core of how completely futile it all sounded now. "I thought I could be good." Lestat's eyes blazed silver and gold in the candlelight, and Louis held them, wracked with such anguish that he felt he'd crumble if Lestat looked away now. "Haven't you ever wanted that, Lestat?"
     

    1794. Pointe du Lac lies in ashes. Lestat, desperate to keep Louis with him at any cost, tries something he's never tried before: he talks.
