Jesse Reeves, a member of the secret Talamasca and relative of Maharet, is mortally injured while attending the concert, and is taken to be made into a vampire at Maharet's compound in California's Sonoma Mountains. Part Two takes place at Lestat's concert. She is also revealed as the source of the attacks on other vampires.

Having been awakened by Lestat's rebellious music, Akasha destroys her husband Enkil and plots to rule the world. Marius informs his rescuers that Akasha has been awakened by Lestat de Lioncourt, or rather his rock music, for he has joined a rock band with mortals Alex, Larry and Tough Cookie. Pandora and Santino rescue Marius, having answered his telepathic call for help. Two things unify these chapters: a series of dreams about red-haired twin sisters, and the fact that a powerful being is killing vampires around the world by means of spontaneous combustion. Each of the six chapters in Part One tells a different story about a different person or group of people. Several of the characters from the two previous books appear, including Armand, Daniel Molloy (the 'boy reporter' of Interview with the Vampire), Marius de Romanus, Louis de Pointe du Lac, Gabrielle de Lioncourt and Santino. Part One follows several different people over the same period of several days. In March 2014, a new installment of Rice's series was announced titled Prince Lestat, which Rice's son, novelist Christopher Rice, called 'a true sequel to The Queen of the Damned'.

This novel is a continuation of the story that ends in a cliffhanger in The Vampire Lestat and explores the rich history and mythology of the origin of the vampires, which dates back to Ancient Egypt.

It follows Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat. The Queen of the Damned (1988) is a horror novel by American writer Anne Rice, the third in her The Vampire Chronicles series. Print ( Hardcover, Paperback) & audio book
