Night Pilgrims by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, 416 pages

I've been a fan of the Saint-Germain novels for a long time. It's a vampire novel with a twist. He feeds on sexual energy but that is a secondary part of the books. Each one features a different time period in his life, jumping back and forth, with the most indepth look at the time period you'd find in a fiction vampire novel. This one covers pilgrims traveling to Egypt and Ethiopia, looking for soul-cleansing or answers to prayers by visiting holy sites in the early 1200s. Not a bad read, but you'd want to be familiar with the previous books.
