In the process of successfully outing himself as a vampire via his simultaneous career choices of rock star, author, and actor, Lestat has annoyed much of the vampire community, who are furious that he has revealed their secrets (even if most of Lestat's fans don't really believe in his bloodsucking ways). More importantly, however, Lestat's antics have awakened the legendary Akasha, the mother of all vampires, and she is not exactly pleased with the way things have been going in the 6,000 years since she last ruled the world.
