Blood and Gold is one of the novels in Vampire Chronicles by a famous Gothic author, Anne Rice. It is a story about Marius, the golden-haired vampire, who reveals the secrets of his two-thousand-year existence. He is a secret blood hunter by night, a filthy killer of humans and lives in a civilized life. He is also a patrician in Ancient Rome and the protector of the Queen and King of the vampires. There is a lot of history of Italy that is fairly interesting and a few other vampires he runs into but forgetfully, except for meeting Santino, an evil blood drinker who believes he is a child of Satan. Throughout his long life, Marius observes many world events including the fall of the Roman Empire. He finds mortals that he loves and converts them into vampires, but never ever remains with him for long after changing. He also makes many enemies with one nearly killing him, causing centuries of healing before recovering. Personally, I think the tone and the book is very depressing and sad ...
