What this book is about
The third Lives of the Mayfair Witches novel brings Ash — a Taltos, an ancient species who existed before humans — into the Mayfair story and crosses over with the Vampire Chronicles. Rice writes with her characteristic Gothic sensuality; the mythology of the Taltos is one of her most inventive world-building achievements. Adult content throughout in Rice's tradition. For adult readers who have followed the Mayfair Witches.
