The body slave of a violent and perverse aristocrat, Apollonius
dreams of murdering the Roman senator who engineered the fall of
his wealthy family. When he is befriended by a mysterious physician
from Thessaly, a man reputed to be a magician, Apollonius finally
gets his chance to avenge his family. With dizzying rapidity,
Apollonius is swept into the dreamlike world of his enigmatic
benefactor. He discovers that the physician from Thessaly is no
ordinary mortal man, but is instead an ancient blood drinker named
Gon, a 30,000 year old vampire. Taken to Pompeii to live in his new
master's sprawling villa, Apollonius finds himself torn between his
desire to be an immortal, and his feelings for his neighbor's
daughter, the beautiful and headstrong Julia Varus. Set against the
backdrop of Pompeii's final days, Apollonius is a novel of
innocence and evil, revenge and sacrifice, and the tragedy of a
doomed love.
