Hard cover with black paper-covered boards, black spine, gilt printing on spine, is in FINE condition. Signed by Miss Rice on title page. Brodart-wrapped DJ, NOT price-clipped, is FINE. At the center is the beautiful, unconquerable 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 knowledge of a Circe. Into this exotic realm comes David Talbot -- hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost-mortal vampire, visitor from another dark realm. It is he who recounts Merrick's haunting tale -- a tale that takes us from the New Orleans 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 irresistible story of two worlds: the witches' world and the vampires' world, where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth.
