Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the third installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles—the inspiration for the hit television series!

“[Taltos] is a curious amalgam of gothic, glamour fiction, alternate history, and high soap opera.”—The Washington Post Book World
 
When Ashlar learns that another Taltos has been seen, he is suddenly propelled into the haunting world of the Mayfair family, the New Orleans dynasty of witches forever besieged by ghosts, spirits, and their own dizzying powers. For Ashlar knows this powerful clan is intimately linked to the heritage of the Taltos.
 
In a swirling universe filled with death and life, corruption and innocence, this mesmerizing novel takes us on a wondrous journey back through the centuries to a civilization half-human, of wholly mysterious origin, at odds with mortality and immortality, justice and guilt. It is an enchanted, hypnotic world that could only come from the imagination of Anne Rice. . . .
 
The magic of the Mayfairs continues:
THE WITCHING HOUR • LASHER • TALTOS

    I first read this trilogy 19 years ago, and it's impression never left me. I just finished the third book, Taltos for the second time and loved every minute of it. Now I need to get back to the real life that I've been neglecting. Fantasy is much more fun.
  • Love this whole series!

    I have read Witching Hour 6 times, Lasher twice and now Taltos for the second time. Hated it when finally finished all three books in the series ): Want more! Taltos is a great read but Witching Hour is still one of of my top 5 books of all time.... As good as Taltos is Witching Hour is ten times better!!
