Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In this mesmerizing novel, the author showcases her talent for spellbinding storytelling and the creation of myth and magic. The narrative centers on the beautiful, unconquerable witch Merrick, a descendant of the gens de couleur libres, a society of New Orleans octoroons and quadroons steeped in voodoo lore. Merrick inhabits a world where African and French cultures intertwine, and she is unaware of her lineage tied to the great Mayfair Witches, from whom she inherits immense power and magical knowledge. The story is narrated by David Talbot, a hero, storyteller, adventurer, and almost-mortal vampire who ventures into Merrick's exotic realm. His recounting of her haunting tale transports readers from the New Orleans of past and present to the jungles of Guatemala, exploring Maya ruins and ancient civilizations. The richly woven narrative presents an irresistible tale of two intertwined worlds: that of witches and vampires, where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations engage in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth.
