Lestat and Louis move over! This homoerotic adventure set in India and America takes the vampire genre to a new level of passion and inspiration. A young Dutch sailor lands in India in 1636 and gets swept away by the power and masculine magnetism of a mysterious stranger who claims he is the young mans lover and teacher from a former life. They trek together into the Himalayas to find a secret shrine of the Goddess where the young man may be made immortal like his teacher. Although aided by supernatural beings, they face a foe of terrifying power who seems bent on obstructing their purpose. They meet many colorful characters and witness miracles both beautiful and bizarre. Reincarnation and destiny reunite old friends, lovers, and enemies over six centuries, and the suspenseful conclusion unravels a mystery that none but the ancient immortal Kedar Baba suspected.

Blood of the Goddess is a terrific achievement in the realm of the vampire novel."***
