Louis and Claudia travel to Europe at the end of World War II, searching for fellow vampires. Louis is tormented by a ghostly imagining of Lestat in his head, while Claudia remains emotionally distant. In Romania, while searching for evidence of Vlad the Impaler, the pair are taken in by a refugee community who seem as terrified of vampires as they are of the Soviet occupiers. They eventually encounter a grotesque, feral vampire and its maker, the weary and mysterious Daciana. Instead of going with them back to America, Daciana throws herself into fire. After having heard on the radio that it has been liberated from the Nazis, they go to Paris, the "mother of New Orleans". In the present, Armand resists engaging with Molloy, who gets back at him by constantly engaging the real Rashid in conversation. Molloy's questions jog Louis's memory. Armand officially becomes a participant in the interview.
