About this ebook
At seventeen-years-old, Mary Paige has become one of the most powerful creatures on the planet – a Blood Vivicanti. Scientifically recreated in an underground layer by Wyn (the first Blood Vivicanti and brilliant, billionaire engineer), Mary Paige discovers that her speed and strength have increased, but so has her appetite for blood. Drinking blood comes with a surprising side effect: Blood Memories. Mary Paige’s photographic memory now remembers everything her victims remember. Her mind must balance these new memories while her heart awakens to the possibility of love when she encounters a third Blood Vivicanti – Theo. International Bestselling Author ANNE RICE and BECKET bring you the original new story of THE BLOOD VIVICANTI.

Becket’s note
In 2011, Anne Rice and I began talking about the development of a new breed of blood drinkers.
The first ground rule was that they had to have an entirely different cosmology from her other supernatural stories.
She and I spent many weeks emailing back and forth, sharing copious detailed notes. We had several energetic lunches and dinners, whence we discussed the foundation and framework of the story you’re about to read. We swapped ideas about the strengths and weaknesses of these new blood drinkers, ideas about the characters themselves as well as their backstories, and more ideas about potential narrative devices.
One of the amazing facets of Anne’s writing method is that she seems to devote almost as much time to selecting the right names for things as she does to carefully crafting the narrative. Both go hand in hand, I’ve learned from her. She’s taught me much. The right name is as important as le mot juste.
But what name would we call our new blood drinkers?
One day, after we’d spent weeks thinking about what to call this new breed, I came into her office as she thumped closed a Latin textbook. She beamed at me with her irresistible smile. She told me she knew what to call our blood drinkers. She had not chosen a Latin word, but had developed a new word from Latin phraseology.
What was the new word she’d developed?
Vivicanti,
she said as her smile broadened.
I loved the word instantly!
Our blood drinkers will be called,
Anne Rice announced: The Blood Vivicanti.
Then it was my job to write the story.
I passed by you. I saw that you had reached the age for love. I spread my skirt over you and I covered your nakedness. I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you.
—Ezekiel 16:8
The Blood Vivicanti
Part 2
Wyn
Here’s my theory: Mom was a duckbill platypus.
Wyn rejects this theory, of course. Sometimes the scientist can’t see past the size of his test tube.
My mom must have been a platypus in disguise – the way Zeus disguised himself as cows, eagles, and the ugly duckling. Platypuses are the only mammals to lay eggs. My mom couldn’t have given birth to me. She must have laid my egg. She must have sat on me too hard.
That must be why I’m so broken.
Once upon a time I was a seven-teen-year-old girl named Mary Paige who’d suffered rejection and isolation. Once I was a human who’d sought ways to be alone. Often loneliness had been my only friend in the dark. But none of that mattered. I just wanted to stop hurting when people misunderstood me.
I was misunderstood a lot – I was alone a lot – I was lonely a lot more – I was a secret breed of person: I could breathe underwater because I’d been drowning since the womb. I was a perfect platypus.
Today I’m still Mary Paige. Only now I am also a Blood Vivicanti. I can pierce your neck
