In her mesmerizing new novel, the author of The Vampire Chrinicles and the saga - of the Mayfair Witches demonstrates once
again her gift for spellbinding storytelling and
the creation of myth and magic. Here, in a
magnificent tale of sorcery and the occult, she
makes real for us a hitherto unexplored world
of witchcraft.
At the center is the beautiful, unconquer-
able witch Merrick. She is a descendant of the
gens de couleur libres, a society of New Orleans
octoroons and quadroons steeped in the lore
and ceremony of voodoo, who reigned in the
shadowy world where African and French-
the dark and the white-_intermingled. Her
ancestors are the great Mayfair Witches, of
whom she knows nothing-_and from whom
she inherits the power and the magical knowl-
edge of a Circe.
Into this exotic realm comes David Tal-
bot-hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost-
mortal vampire, visitor from another dark
realm. It is he who recounts Merrick's haunt-
ing tale--a tale that takes us from the New
Orleans of past and present to the jungles of
Guatemala, from the Maya ruins of a century
ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored.
Anne Rice's richly told novel weaves an irre-
sistible story of two worlds: the witches' world
and the vampires' world, where magical pow-
ers and otherworldly fascinations are locked
together in a dance of seduction, death, and
rebirth.
