Publisher's Synopsis
After taking ill, the young Flavian learns of a means of sidestepping his terminal wasting disease - one mythologized, romanticized, and made a laughable notion by the celebrated fictions of the day. Reborn a vampire during the last days of the Gilded Age - a time when the city he calls home is a sea of strangers and stranger accents, a mix of millionaires and migrant workers - Flavian learns to live again, drained of his Indian blood, but given life anew. What comes after is the indelible ramblings of a revenant.
