Publisher's Summary
What can I confess? I'm Ashlar. I'm a Taltos.
It's centuries since I've seen one single other member of my own species.
Oh, there have been others. I've heard of them, chased after them, and
in some instances almost found them. Mark, I say almost. But not in
centuries have I touched my own flesh and blood, as humans are so fond
of saying. Never in all this time....
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 come only from the imagination
of Anne Rice....
What the Critics Say
"Rice is a formidable talent.... [Taltos] is a curious amalgam of gothic,
glamour fiction, alternate history and high soap opera." (The Washington
Post Book World)
"Captivating.... Taltos is a wonderful offering...the best she's done....
There is a new member of Anne Rice's macabre family of monsters, and
he's probably the loneliest, most melancholy creature on earth.... Rice
keeps the mystic fires burning strong." (The Milwaukee Journal)
"Spellbinding.... Mythical.... Anne Rice is a pure storyteller." (Cosmopolitan)
