THE STUNNING SEQUEL TO STARGAZER/THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS The Stargazer capital Xanadu has been destroyed. The immortal ruler of vampires, The MoonQueen, has been vanquished. Humanity has been liberated after a brutal revolution. The source of all of this is the dark heroism of Byron Solsbury, prophesized Liberator and Stargazer Heretic. Now comes the difficult part. Accompanied by his ally Proxos and soul mate Medea, Byron will risk radioactive wastelands and its horrors in a quest to infiltrate New Atlantis, the last remaining Stargazer city. The reasons are twofold: to find the cure for the Killer of Giants-the only disease harmful to vampires-that has mortally infected Medea; and to oversee the destruction of the metropolis and end the Stargazer Empire once and for all. Within this high-tech structure, Byron will encounter the dreaded Forgotten-vampires that were never human to begin with, as well as their godly allies. It will take all of his skills to counter their razor agendas. Eventually he must face the ruler of New Atlantis-the greatest Stargazer who ever walked Heaven and Earth-and realize that their grim destinies have been intertwined since before the rise of the vampires. He is known as The Prince of Shadows or simply The Centurion. And he once drank the blood of a god incarnate on Earth, and gained the powers of infinity. As fate unravels before him like a bloody tapestry, Byron Solsbury will realize that not only Earth hangs in the balance...but reality itself.

Before The Matrix Trilogy, True Blood, Twilight, Daybreakers, Morrigan's Cross, and Blade there was only Stargazer-- the fountainhead of so many modern vampire and science fiction epics. Originally published as The Queen of Darkness(Warner Books), the classic saga has been rebooted, revamped and rewritten in its second edition to further take its place among the greatest vampire tales ever written. Five hundred years ago the Stargazers, led by their immortal MoonQueen, sparked global nuclear war, blotted out the sun, conquered the world, and rewrote history. Now humans are cattle whose blood feeds the master race, the glorious rulers of high-tech cities. And no one calls Stargazers by their true name. Vampires. Yet some impulse is stirring in the slave farms, an echo of a forgotten pride. Byron, a rebellious young Stargazer, is assigned to investigate the 'Warm One's--in other words, destroy any threat. But when a beautiful human shaman shows him unbelievable truths about his past, his origin, and his destiny, a vampire will discover that his immortal enemy is his living Goddess, The MoonQueen. "Conner creates an inexplicably touching hero both as man and monster." Publishers Weekly "For me, there are only two classic vampire novels: Bram Stoker's Dracula and Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire...now comes Conner's Stargazer which deserves so much of our attention for all the differences it brings into the genre." Science Fiction Chronicle "Classic vampire mythology redefined in the most exciting and original way. Science fiction at its finest!"
