In a new and major novel, the creator of fantastic universes of vampires and witches takes us now into the world of Isaiah and Jeremiah and the destruction of Solomon's Temple, to tell the story of Azriel, Servant of the Bones.

There he finds himself, amidst the towers of Manhattan, in confrontation with his own human origins.

In a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws listeners into 18th-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols - and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Publisher's summary
“Rice writes with her usual erotic and historically evocative flair. (People)
Once a proud Senator in Imperial Rome, Marius is kidnapped and forced into that dark realm of blood, where he is made a protector of the Queen and King of the vampires - in whom the core of the supernatural race resides. Through his eyes we see the fall of pagan Rome to the Emperor Constantine, the horrific sack of the Eternal City at the hands of the Visigoths, and the vile aftermath of the Black Death. Ultimately restored by the beauty of the Renaissance, Marius becomes a painter, living dangerously yet happily among mortals, and giving his heart to the great master Botticelli, to the bewitching courtesan Bianca, and to the mysterious young apprentice Armand. But it is in the present day, deep in the jungle, when Marius will meet his fate seeking justice from the oldest vampires in the world....

Story
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

Next, rather than going "toward the light", he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail.

Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

wonderful
I found this reading of Blood and Gold to be luxurious, Roger Rees evoking the majesty and timelessness of Marius without sounding like a caricature. His inflection with the female characters was mildly saccharine, but this long and detail-rich story was awesome to have in this format. I loved every minute detail, and the delivery was really well done. If you want action, read Tom Clancy or what have you. If you want deep relationships, painstaking picture-painting, and really distinct characters, this book is worth a long and exciting listen. I will listen to it again, eventually, the way I re-read the books, when I am ready to revisit these places.

One of the Better of the Latter Vampire Chronicles
Blood and Gold, the story of Marius, is one of the better books of the latter cycle of Vampire Chronicles. Yes, it does rehash some of the material from The Vampire Armand and Pandora, but it doesn't take from the overall story and the great rapport between Marius and Thorn. Roger Rees does a good job with the text, although his accent for Thorn sounds more like Dracula than a former Viking. Definately worth reading and listening to.

A look at Marius's Life
If you are an Anne Rice reader of her "Vampire Chronicles" this gives an explanation of the life of Marius far more in depth.
It is a worthwhile read if you have read the "Chronicles," and are looking for more information regarding this character to fill in the gaps.
Also, it brings in new characters as well as expounding on a few of the past characters. I looked at it more as an autobiography of Marius.
It is a worthwhile read once only in my opinion.

I was very happy to see some unabridged versions of Anne Rice novels. I started with Merrick, and I was not disappointed! The narrator did an excellent job, and the prose was beautiful. I actually enjoyed this audio version even more than I enjoyed reading the book. A great choice for Anne Rice fans.

Tedious and boring
I see that most of the reviews are overwhelming positive, which I don't understand. I am a big fan of the vampire chronicles, but Blood and Gold bored me. It's slow and the action that does take place is sparse and short-lived. It's descriptive to the point of being tedious. This was particularly irritating to me. I found myself over and over again thinking "Can we just get on with the story already?". I really can't recommend this to anyone, even Anne Rice fans.
