| In Blood Canticle, we see a continuation of the events depicted in Blackwood Farm, only this time the main focus turns once more to the lBrat Prince, Lestat. With his newly made Coven of Quinn Blackwood and Mona Mayfair, Lestat takes on the task of searching for Mona's lost mutant child, an unhuman creature, a Taltos. By making such a promise, Lestat is swept up into the world of the Mayfair Clan, and unavoidably comes into contact with the veritable "head witch" herself, Rowan Mayfair, and her husband Michael Curry. Lestat immediately falls in love with Rowan, a love that he must struggle with throughout the entire book. | ||
